PR 38896
Clause 31 of the IEEE 802.3 Specifications specifies a MAC Control Frame format consisting of Destina-
tion Address, Source Address, Type, MAC Control Opcode and Reserved (PAD) field. The MAC Control
Frames are transmitted correctly as specified by the standard. However, during receive, operation checks

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
