Subject: r8169: jumbo frames

Hello,

Just wanted to report that when setting a mtu of 4074, I'm
getting slow Samba performance with an r8169 based NIC even
with the fix for this posted here applied.  all dmesg shows
is:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

The mtu value is due to Windows workstations which support
this value and 9k MTU but the r8169 doesn't appear to like
9k although that's where I'd like it to be on this network.
