Hmmm..The thumb rule I generally follow is that if there are too many collisions, I would look at the duplex settings of the NIC and the switch.If one of them is forced(Not auto negotiated) then the other one turns itself into Half-duplex.The ifconfig display is also cryptic in the sense that it does not tell you explicitly that it is half-duplex.If there is no full-duplex in ifconfig display it is half-duplex.Check those settings again and may be you are in for a surprise..
