However, our general policy is to apply patches that were accepted upstream, so in the end I applied Jie Yang's patch. The critical change is to remove the line 'netdev->features |= NETIF_F_TSO6;' which tells the kernel that the driver supports TSO for IPv6. Once that is done, the other code will no longer be used. Are you sure the patch was actually applied when you tested? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Never put off till tomorrow what you can avoid all together.
