bcm driver, no collisions.

I have the new bcm drive installed on an inspirion 1100 laptop that's
plugged into a 100M hub. The driver correctly sets half-duplex, but
the collisions never increase dispite heavy nfs traffic and dispite
the collision light (and other hosts on the hub) registering many
collisions.
I don't have any evidence that the interface is misbehaving. In fact,
the performance seems good.
The card probes up as:
bcm0: <Broadcom 10/100 Base-T Ethernet> mem 0xfcffe000-0xfcffffff irq 11 at device 1.0 on pci2
bcm0: Ethernet address: 00:0b:db:e7:ac:9a
miibus0: <MII bus> on bcm0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0
ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
It has said (I don't know if this is relavant):
bcm0: watchdog timeout
bcm_watchdog: intstatus = 0x0
and the current netstat -i output (notice 0 collisions):
bcm0 1500 <Link#3> 00:0b:db:e7:ac:9a 2535135 0 517329 1 0
bcm0 1500 fe80:3::20b:d fe80:3::20b:dbff: 0 - 0 - -
bcm0 1500 H48.C241.tor. H58.C241.tor.velo 2530012 - 517303 - -
This is using bcm-0308252140.tar.gz and a -CURRENT cvsup'd yesterday.
Dave.
