Checksum error is not interface error

Hi

My monitoring has been alerting on and off a couple of times per hour due to rx errors on the interface.
Couldn't find any tx errors on the other end, but sent out a guy to mount a attenuator, since the sfp reported the signal to be just over the warning threshold. When this didn't work, I managed to find a reference to this issue on the freebsd mailing list.

Why is it like this? Can it be fixed in this driver as well?
