I'm seeing the same behavior on my Dell SC servers BCM5751 and BCM5721. |

2.6.17-gentoo-r4 in both cases. I might have a newer kernel I can try |
| 21 |
later. One thing to note is that both of these are PCI Express. |

Oddly changing to MTU 1492 on the e1000 chips (82541GI) locks the |
| 24 |
interface for about 20-30 seconds before it responds again after which |
| 25 |
the ping -s 5000 does work. 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 on those servers and the |
| 26 |
Intel is PCI Express as well. |
