8 Seems I'm having the same problems with the latter chip. Early last year
9 I tried to enable jumbo frames on our ProLiant ML370 and some
10 workstations and didn't succeed. As it was just a nice-to-have I didn't
11 investigate any further and just switched back to MTU 1500, but now this
12 sounds very familiar. It was kernel 2.6.12-hardened or something back
13 then, I'll check again one of these days.

15 cheers!
