	As you can see, there are no errors on the interface. If you connect
that interface to a switch and set communication to full duplex, collisions
are likely to dissapear.

	Same applies to outside (ethernet1) interface, of course, but since
outside is usually connected to a router, switch part doesn't apply. Just
try setting duplex to full.

	Please note - collisions are not errors! They are defined by CSMA/CD
standard, as used by Ethernet.
