Description

Notes as of the time of filing:
- Errors are only on incoming packets, not outgoing.
- All users reporting so far are using a switch upstream of their pfSense WAN.
- Users report there don't seem to be any problems with link negotiation.
- As would be expected, the error count returns to zero after a reboot.
- Reportedly is present both after a fresh install of 2.6, and after upgrading to 2.6 from 2.5.2, and then persists after converting to 22.01.

Users report that the following seem to have no effect on the issue:
- Disable flow control
- Disable hardware checksum offloading
- Swapping out CAT wire for new and/or known working

Only a handful of cases so far. Most error numbers are small and not concerning overall, but we may see more of this as 2.6/22.01 become more prevalent.
