Further, since the switch is manageable, it has some ability to report port
status.
Odds-on that there is a disagreement on FULL/HALF-DUPLEX between the switch
and the network card.

There are two problems with this report:

1. The OpenBSD version is nearly two years old. Update to recent
software, and see if the problem still exists. Nobody wants to spend
time diagnosing a fault which may have been fixed long ago...

2. You provide no information about the hardware. If the problem still
exists after upgrading, send a complete dmesg, output of 'ifconfig -a',
output of 'netstat -in' after the box has carried some traffic, and
information about what media type the switch is using for the port
(full/half-duplex etc).
