OK. I added the output of:

{ lspci -t ; lspci -vvv; lspci -k -xxx ; } > lspci-all.frank

as an attachment to the bug.

Also:


frank:~ # ethtool -t eth0
The test result is FAIL
The test extra info:
nvram test     (online)          0
link test      (online)          0
register test  (offline)         1
memory test    (offline)         0
loopback test  (offline)         0
interrupt test (offline)         0

frank:~ #

So, I added the output of:

ethtool -d eth0

Now. The above is all with 1500 byte frames.
If I switch to 9000 byte frames and take the interface down and then
back up again, I am unable to communicate with it, *provided*
scatter-gather is also enabled (which it is by default).

>From a cold boot (and 1500 byte frames):

frank:~ # ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off
frank:~ #

I'll be adding ethtool -d using 9000 byte frames in the next 30 minutes.
Is there anything else I can provide?
