5.1-R btw.

i just got this axi panther sparc net booted, and am getting network errors.
Its plugged into a el cheap-o 8 port 10/100 switch. I get input err from
netstat plus errors in dmesg when left at auto/auto. When forced its only give
about 25 input errors then no more are logged via netstat.
NFS server is plugged into same switch running 5.1 also only intel
which is also forced to 100/Full (de nic btw)

netstat -in
hme0   1500 <Link#1>      08:00:20:a2:99:17    91169    24    88175     0  1489

I also noticed something strange. When forced to 100/Full i get this output.
axi# ifconfig hme0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
        atalk 0.0 range 0-0 phase 2

however ifconfig hme0 shows
media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> :/

found this in all.log on the nfs server (*.*  @nfs in syslog.conf on axi)
Jul 16 19:12:13 axi kernel: atalk 2813.254 range 2813-2813 phase 2

I also see
