Collisions are absolutely normal on a Half-Duplex Ethernet.
As long as the percentage of collisions (compared to the total number
of network-packets on this network) is acceptable to you and your
applications (collisions slightly decrease the total bandwith available
and may increase the latency of packets going through this network
segment) there's nothing wrong with your network.
See O'Reilly's Ethernet-Book for details.
