AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 are known to have Rx checksum offloading bug and ale(4) have a workaround for the bug. I'm not sure whether you're seeing the same bug not handled in the workaround code, though. If you disable Rx checksum offloading(e.g. ifconfig ale0 -rxcsum) does ssh still complain 'corrupted MAC'? Since you seem to have a way to reproduce the issue, would you show me the way to trigger the issue? > thank you very much for any suggestions > > giuseppe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
