Yes: [1186598.218205] eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[1] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1] [1186598.281314] eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1] I'll keep the traffic on eth0 now until it breaks again, hopefully spewing out more debugging info with your patch and then I'll switch to eth1.
