You havn't seen it all. I've seen machines report collisions on
100/fdx interfaces, especially when the far end has mis-negotiated
(or is incorrectly hardcoded) duplex but the collision reports are
still on the fdx end.

I don't care if you believe me or not, and this is no longer
applicable to -mobile, but I and a few other long term professional
sysadmins I just asked have all seen this.
