I think this machine has something special about the cache. Enabling back this tx-nocache-copy (as it used to be before the patch) the transfers work fine again. I think that most people, encountering this problem, completely disable the tx offload instead of enabling back this setting. Is this an ARM kernel problem regarding this platform? Thank you, Llu?s
