13.7.9
Late Collisions Count
LATECOL (04020h; R)
Late collisions are collisions that occur after 64-byte time into the transmission of the packet while 
working in 10-100 Mb/s data rate, and 512 byte time into the transmission of the packet while 
working in the 1000 Mb/s data rate. This register only increments if transmits are enabled and the 
device is in half-duplex mode.

Collision Count
COLC (04028h; R)
This register counts the total number of collisions that are not late collisions seen by the transmitter. 
This register only increments if transmits are enabled and the Ethernet controller is in half-duplex 
mode.
