I guess thinking about it more, and in the spirit of not propagating
misinformation, collisions are normal in any half-duplex environment.
Whether there's actually a mismatch or not is just how we're conditioned to
view it because 100-half really doesn't buy you much but faster collisions ;)
Full duplex environments should by definition, not have any collisions.
