Hi,
everyone out there who had only seen timeouts like
nve0: device timeout (4)
on nve and __never got it working at all__ please try this patch[1]
which made my nve working from 0 to 99.
I still can get timeouts by for example flood pinging another machine
on the local LAN but it all recovers on it's own and I can work on
that machine and do things like find / over ssh without losing
connectivity. Fixing the timeouts will be another problem that needs
to be addressed later.
Greetings
