The errors are occurring on both NICs, in nearly equal distribution. Cables
and switch are known good. The only thing new are the NICs.

Surely a hardware problem (of any kind) would manifest itself with greater
regularity than 0.002% of the traffic.

What kind of configuration setting might cause this behavior?

Thanks,
Eric
