So if you swap one of the newer cards with one of the older cards do the packet drops continue to follow the older card around?
If so, then please get me the PBA of one of the newer cards and the PBA of one of the older ones that fails.

The good thing i can't reproduce myself either ;-( it just happens out of nothing on the nodes. My current expection is that it happens when spikes of packets occur after being idle for some time. OK, my traffic generation was fairly constant. Let me modify it to send bursts of traffic after long idle periods. Maybe that will help to reproduce. Something you might try is examining your systems' BIOS settings for sleep states and make sure the machines don't go too deep into a sleep state when they're idle. The time it takes to come from sleep state to handling traffic bursts can cause some dropped packets. Thanks, - Greg The good news is after upgrading to the latest intel fw released two days ago and to the latest 1.3.38 driver - it works on 10 out of my 18 testing hosts. Currently i've no idea why it does not on those 8.
