Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12, 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1 When upgrading to the etch version of the kernel, I noticed a complete NFS lockup as soon as a client tries to write something.
I tracked this down to the TCP layer; I'm using jumbo frames (tried with MTU ranging from 2000 to 7200) and all *received* TCP packets exceeding 1500 bytes are simply dropped. They don't even appear in tcpdump. This does not affect UDP nor ICMP packets, and this does not affect sent TCP packets. It is a regression from 2.6.18.dfsg.1-8, and I think it is related to the r8169 changes introduced in -9, as the network controller is a D-Link DGE-528T using this driver.
