If you're hitting the oversized GSO packet issue that Christian Theune
also seems to be hitting, then further debugging isn't necessary on your
part.
When guest network tx is stalled, please check the following on the
host:
(host)# ifconfig vnet0
vnet0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.122.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.122.255
ether 52:54:00:bb:01:ac txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 1 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
If you see "RX dropped" greater than zero then it's probably the same issue.
