Generally this indicates broken "hardware" offload for some features
like txcsum/rxcsum/vlan_hwcsum/vlan_hwtagging etc.

Some of them may be automatically disabled while interface is put in 
promiscuous mode
by running tcpdump and enabled back after tcpdump terminated.

You should look at "options" line in the output of ifconfig for the interface
and manually disable offloads (look for ifconfig(8) manual for details).
They retry tests without tcpdump running.
