Hi,

Johan Andersson reported on the Gentoo bugzilla that the hardware CRC 
stripping enabled by e1000e breaks bridging because sometimes the CRC is 
not stripped:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209235

Apparently "upstream" are aware but I couldn't find any mails or bug 
reports on this topic.

What's the current status of this issue? Perhaps we should disable 
hardware CRC stripping for 2.6.24.x/2.6.25 until this gets fixed?

Thanks,
Daniel
