[Gllug] collisions and slowness

[SteveC]

I have a Dell 220 here with a custom compiled kernel running apache,
samba, netatalk, proftpd etc off of debian potato. Its damn slow, and I
get tons of collisions on it. Taking netatalk off makes no difference.
Putting another machine in its place gives good bandwidth / no collisons.
Any ideas?

          EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:2/56
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3924 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 frame:0
          TX packets:3236 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:240 

Only been up 4 minutes, and I have 240 collisions!

have fun,
