The Intel 82571 chip DMAs might transfer incorrect data but a valid CRC on the network and stop responding. This lack of response results in the device hanging and getting reset.
Workaround: Disable LSO by adding the following line in the e1000g.conf file:
lso_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0; |
Ensure that '0's are in line with the e1000g interface numbers.
