Do things improve if you turn off TSO in the atl1e driver?

ethtool -K eth0 tso off

I said yes in a previous message, but I think I was confused.

I'm now running 2.6.28 with a driver change that removes NETIF_F_TSO and
NETIF_F_TSO6 from netdev->features. Last night I transferred 180 GB
with scp without any corrupted MACs, however today while compiling stuff
over NFS I got a 128-byte block of source code that was corrupted
(replaced with text from a different source file). So, my issue does not
seem to disappear even after disabling TSO support in the driver.
Also the issue seems to be somewhat intermittent, since I was not able
to triger it at will with scp last night.... :/
