You have 2 cards in that computer. Its got an address and an interrupt
and they both have seen data. You need to resolve that first. eth1
does nto appear to be UP either, whatever that means.
also you can get collissions when you are not using a switch. It looks
like these collissions are due to the multipel cards though as the IBM
is not experiencing them...
