Comment 38 for bug 76489

I have a Hardy system using the r8169 driver for a device with PCI ID [10ec:8168] and I'm running kernel version 2.6.24-19.34-server.

TSO is disabled by default:

bdmurray@bizarro:~/kvm-images$ ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off

and I've transferred a fair bit of data to the system:

bdmurray@bizarro:~/kvm-images$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1f:c6:eb:d5:fd
          inet addr:192.168.10.192 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21f:c6ff:feeb:d5fd/64 Scope:Link

and I've received no timeouts.
