I have some more information since my initial posting yesterday. I set
the NMBCLUSTERS back to default, which made no difference. Therefore,
moving from 4.3 to 4.4 is what drastically increased the frequency at
which the link goes down and back up. I also captured dmesg now I case
there is any useful information in it. The fluctuation of the link
occurs multiple times a second with the new kernel when attempting to
use the network with this machine. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
