On a laptop with such hardware, with default 1500 MTU I can't connect to

local machines, error bit LIMIT is set when receiving packets.
By decreasing the MTU to 1496 everything works fine.

This looks like a known issue

Oh and even

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10694
Should I add some info there ?

Pascal Terjan <pterjan@mandriva.com> :
Not yet but could you retry with RX_BUF_SIZE set to 1544,

1528 and 1520 ?

Ueimor

1544, 1528 and 1520 fail the same way
--

By the way there is some strange code:
tp->rx_buf_sz = (mtu > RX_BUF_SIZE) ? mtu + ETH_HLEN + 8 : RX_BUF_SIZE;
Isn't there a (different from the one I'm interested in :) ) bug when

1500 < mtu <= RX_BUF_SIZE
Shouldn't the test be (mtu > ETH_DATA_LEN) ?
