From: Ben Greear <redacted> This enables enabling/disabling reception of the Ethernet FCS. This can be useful when sniffing packets. For e1000e, enabling RXFCS can change the default behaviour for how the NIC handles CRC. Disabling RXFCS will take the NIC back to defaults, which can be configured as part of the module options.
[...] This is not how I would expect the features to behave. Default value should be set on probe() time, and when you disable RXFCS it should just get disabled. Best Regards, Michał Mirosław
