Logs kernel: vr0: rx packet lost

I'm getting this in logs allot..
kernel: vr0: rx packet lost
…
last message repeated 62 timesDo I have bad hardware? I also saw this error at my house during testing. I use wireless at home so I thought it was just a random drop when I saw it in testing. But now that I have pfsense installed at colo I'm getting this error again. pfsense is only doing about 1-2mbs in traffic I should not have packets getting lost yet? CPU use is 20% and Memory is fine too.
What should I trouble shoot next? Should I move off vr0 and try another port see if that helps?

Sounds like some hardware problems. Not sure if it is related but try the following option at system>advanced (very bottom):
Hardware Checksum Offloading
Disable Hardware Checksum Offloading Checking this option will prevent hardware checksum offloading. FreeBSD sometimes has difficulties with certain drivers.Do you also see errors at status>interfaces?

I will Disable Hardware Checksum Offloading. But from watching startup it's not on for these two onboard ports.

Not sure these nics even support it. Checking cables and switch might be a good idea as well.
