Subject: e1000e, 3.4.1, , jumbo frames are not working

Just tried to enable larger mtu on interface, and failed, even i try to 
disable both of mentioned in dmesg offloads.

L2TP ~ # ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000e

bus-info: 0000:05:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes

Here is what i did:
ifconfig eth1 mtu 2000
got dmesg:
[ 9160.679354] e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth0: Jumbo frames cannot be 
enabled when both receive checksum offload and receive hashing are 
enabled.  Disable one of the receive offload features before enabling 
jumbos.

ethtool -K eth1 rxhash off
dmesg:

Lost connectivity for few seconds, then again i tried to:
ifconfig eth1 mtu 2000

dmesg:

Again, tried: ifconfig eth1 mtu 2000
dmesg:
