Subject: e1000e hardware CRC stripping breaks bridging

Hi,

Johan Andersson reported on the Gentoo bugzilla that the hardware CRC 
stripping enabled by e1000e breaks bridging because sometimes the CRC is 
not stripped:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209235

Apparently "upstream" are aware but I couldn't find any mails or bug 
reports on this topic.

What's the current status of this issue? Perhaps we should disable 
hardware CRC stripping for 2.6.24.x/2.6.25 until this gets fixed?

Thanks,
Daniel
