Speaking of jumbo frames, I'm seeing a problem on a Broadcom 57xx

Had a very similar issue some time ago with tg3 on Broadcom chipset NICs
(57xx). The only solution we could find was to not use jumbo frames.
The preventative measure we take as a result of this is also to
recommend using Intel NICs (and a few others) over Broadcom whenever
possible.
I was afraid of that. The tg3 driver and the specific chipset both
claim it should work. I've not looked at driver source, and I'm
thinking of downloading Broadcom's proprietary driver for linux. I
can't add Intel to this box: physically outta room (2u chassis, nVidia
8800 for remote graphics eats up the physical riser real estate).
