Mac mini 6,2 (Late 2012 Server)

This is my first post on the forum requesting for help so pardon the ignorance if I missed something very obvious.
Just recently took the plunge and installed OMV on my old Mac mini 2012 that's been running without any issues, albeit slow and repurposed as NAS media device.
For the most part when it's working, it's fast and I have a few docker instances running as well,
A couple of times a day the network goes down and I'm unable to access it. Unable to ping for about 10 minutes and then it starts to work.
When I view the Sys logs this is what I see right before the link goes down

10 ~ 15 minutes later the network is reachable again...
I don't understand what these errors mean. Tried googling some of them but came up short.
Is it a network driver issue or Kernel issue that requires an update?
Any input would be much appreciated.
