Even stranger is that with current netperf tg3-->tg3 works perfectly fine
for me with TSO enabled. I'm getting clean 700Mbit transfers through
my D-Link DGS-1008T switch as long as netperf doesn't do something silly
like use tiny send/receiver buffers.
I've never had a transfer stall either.
Please help debug this John since I'm not seeing this here.
