'k, did someone fix something with the em driver? :( Figuring it couldn't hurt to try auto-neg once more, and so far, 0 Ierrs :( So either someone fixed the em problem, or the em problem was transient ... but it was originally the default (autoselect), and I only moved it to a hard coded *after* playing with all three *sigh*
Thanks ...

You should expect to see some collisions (1% or so) when working in half-duplex mode: that's the nature of the beast.
Is your Linksys switch managed or unmanaged? If you can set both it and the em to manually configured 100/FD, that would be worth trying. I'd also try swapping a cable plugged into a working fxp box with the machine using the em, and see whether the problems follow, or whether the fxp system starts having issues. A bad cable or a flaky port on the switch could also be causing your problems, but ethernet autonegotiation failing seems to be more likely given the description.
