Very poor writing performance

[David Brodbeck]

It will work after a fashion, there will just be a lot of late collisions
(which will be undetected by the ethernet card.)  The result is a network
that appears to work fine when you ping it, but collapses when you try to
move anything large.  Another common symptom of a duplex mismatch is a
machine on the local network that you can telnet to just fine, but that
transfers horribly slowly (or not at all) with FTP.  Telnet sends very small
packets, so the odds of a collision are much lower.
