The message Received ARP request collision from is a red herring. What
it means is that the FWSM saw that the same MAC address responded to
multiple ARP replies. This is normal when you have a host that has
multiple IP addresses on the same ethernet card.
I spent several hours looking at this to a FWSM problem.
Good luck.
