One strange observation is that I can only reproduce this problem when
transmitting data from a NFS-server using TCP with Atheros
AR8121/AR8113/AR8114.

I've tried to reproduce the problem using test-programs, like nttcp
and netpipe, without any success. One observation is that the
test-programs *only* generates 1500 bytes IP-packets. When
the NFS-server sends data, a sequence of 1500 bytes IP-packets are
generated, ending with a shorter packet. And this last packet in the
sequence has 1500 in the IP-header length field, but is shorter.
