Subject: [net-next 05/13] e1000e: bad short packets received when jumbos enabled on 82579

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

When short packets are received with jumbos enabled on 82579, they can be
interpreted to have a receive address that does not match any configured
address.  This is due to a hardware bug that can be worked around by
reducing the number of IPG octets added when the packet is transferred from
the PHY to the MAC.
