Hi,
Well, I just realized that I didn't update this bug report although
there is an obvious workaround to this failure,
which is to simply disable rx checksumming (ethtool -K $IFACE rx off).
So sorry about that :-)
BTW it seems that I'm not the only one to be affected by this bug [1],
and upstream seems to think that it's not
a driver bug, but rather a bios or a firmware failure (see comment 19 in
[1]).

Cheers,
