         Resolution|Overcome By Events          |Not A Bug

--- Comment #8 from Joshua Kinard <kumba@gentoo.org> ---
Just to add a final resolution and to mark this as a hardware issue and not=
 a
bug in FreeBSD, the problem ultimately turned out to be the 1ft CAT6A Monop=
rice
SlimRun cable I was using to connect the NUC to my 24-port switch.

I learned awhile ago that swapping to a different cable made the problem go
away, but I didn't know why.  After finally finding where my cable tester w=
as
hidden, I was able to resolve that the slimrun cable had a faulty ground
connection between the two ends that was probably creating a ground loop
between the switch and the NUC, causing the switch to overreact and either
disable the port or drop it to 100mbps, which probably wasn't handled well =
by
the em(4) driver on the NUC.
