Ueimor & All,
The "Transfer Carrier Sense Error" seems to have been hardware related.
I replaced with a 10/100Mbps device and the interface is working
correctly now. My hardware engineer is going to look at the 10Mbps HUB
later to find out what is going on with that piece of equipment; so, we
know what to do when we have future issues.
James
