Been there, done that. HP claims to be able to handle packets up to
9000 bytes of payload. (9122 total, IIRC)
Ok, modern Procurves are good. Its unlikely to be this.

But here's the one I love:
-bash-3.2# ethtool -K tso off
no offload settings changed
Patrick Geoffray reminded me that typing in the whole command including
the port might have helped. I've got to retry this, but I think I
actually have done this correctly (with all appropriate params) and it
still failed.
Hmmm... driver sounds borked if it advertises being able to turn tso
on/off and then doesn't let you.
I apparently can't control things with ethtool...
... smells like the driver.

I'll go snag the new driver and compile it. After all: What can it
hurt!
Any luck with this? I pulled down the tarball and built it here on a
2.6.9 based machine without incident. Not RPM format (no .spec file),
but fairly painless to build.
Now a task for "later tonight" since I've got a deadline breathing down
my neck.
Thanks!
