Since I get constistent errors with some clients (not distinguished by OS, connectivity or hardware as far as I can see) and never errors with others, I'd expect some destination addresses to form part of these N bytes. But the source address doesn't matter - I've now tried four different source addresses in two different /16 nets.
Btw, changing the card, cable or hub didn't help.
