This breaks bge(4) for NICs I use, see below:
- on nfs client using bge(4) for nfs:
'cat /nfs/file' stalls without printing anything from file.
tcpdump on nfs client shows that data is received;
and resent with doubling interval.
'ls /nfs' normally works before stall.
- using tcp for nfs fixes problem
- 'ifconfig bge0 -rxcsum' fixes problem
- backing out commit fixes problem
icmp & tcp doesn't seem to be affected: ping & ssh works without problems.
Trying old kernels from chlamydia pointed to data of this commit.
