RB5009 drops hardware vpn packets but not through another switch

Short follow up to the above issue with my ether port on rb5009 ‘flapping’: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/port-flapping-rb5009-vodafone-modem/153058/1 has been discussed many times already. I’m testing auto negotiation disabled and setting to 1G full duplex. Hopefully that’s the end of this problem.
