I have the new bcm drive installed on an inspirion 1100 laptop that's plugged into a 100M hub. The driver correctly sets half-duplex, but the collisions never increase dispite heavy nfs traffic and dispite the collision light (and other hosts on the hub) registering many collisions. I don't have any evidence that the interface is misbehaving. In fact, the performance seems good. The card probes up as: bcm0: <Broadcom 10/100 Base-T Ethernet> mem 0xfcffe000-0xfcffffff irq 11 at device 1.0 on pci2 bcm0: Ethernet address: 00:0b:db:e7:ac:9a miibus0: <MII bus> on bcm0 ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto It has said (I don't know if this is relavant): bcm0: watchdog timeout bcm_watchdog: intstatus = 0x0 and the current netstat -i output (notice 0 collisions): bcm0 1500 <Link#3> 00:0b:db:e7:ac:9a 2535135 0 517329 1 0 bcm0 1500 fe80:3::20b:d fe80:3::20b:dbff: 0 - 0 - - bcm0 1500 H48.C241.tor.
