Looking at the patch again, I do not see anything suspicious. Plus the
bugzilla is talking about carrupting tx packets which is really odd. One
thing I can think of is if maybe VLAN tag inserting/striping and enable
VLAN receive filtering might be needed to be enabled/disabled together.
Intel guys should be able to tell.
Thanks.
