Making a search on Internet, the first reference is bug #527209 in Red Hat bugzilla. I recommend to you that you read the complete report. They mention the following workaround: # ethtool -K eth0 sg off Also they give a patch to correct the problem. If it is a kernel compiled with the source of kernel.org, it is necessary to see if there is a patch or a new version of the kernel that solves this problem. I hope this helps you.
