I was really hoping (wanting) this to also be the solution, but it's not :-(

Excluding the host itself and any other related traffic shows a ton of IPv6
and ARP traffic produced by the default gateway in a very consistent
pattern.

The dropped packets are relatively consistent, but update at a slower
interval, like once every other time the RX/TX packet counters are updated.

Also, I have another host on the same cable modem that does not have any
dropped packets ever. The only difference is that it's running shorewall
and is a gateway to the internal LAN. There's something that host is doing
to address these packets so they're not counted.
