Bug#689429: vmxnet3 driver with package drops on ESXi 5.0

[Patrick Matthäi <pmatthaei@debian.org>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-46
Severity: important

Hello,

first, I can not check, if Wheezy is also affected.

Using ESXi 5.0 with Linux guests (in this case many amd64 Squeeze 
machines with three vmxnet3 adapter for each VM) could cause package 
drops, here especially on using UDP (name resolving). So I saw that some 
machines produced ~ 20 drops / day.
This has been fixed by VMware last week:

Could you please adopt this fix for Squeeze (maybe also Wheezy)?

Cheers
