What happens if you use SW time stamping instead of the HW one? Can you try compiling and installing manually the driver from Intel?

Looking through the archive, it looks like my problem might be similar to Daniel Le's January thread "Master offsets don't converge". However it doesn't look like he ever resolved things, and it also looks like he was using SW time-stamping where as I believe my NIC should be capable of HW time-stamping. >> I'm trying to configure a machine running CentOS 7 (3.10 kernel) with >> an Intel 82574L NIC to use PTP as its time source. > There are two Linux kernel driver workarounds for that unlucky card: > > 5e7ff97004 v3.16-rc1 e1000e: 82574/82583 TimeSync errata for SYSTIM read > 37b12910dd v4.3-rc1 e1000e: Fix tight loop implementation of systime read > algorithm > > You should try a newer kernel (4.3+) or use the Intel out of tree > drivers from SF. Thanks for the suggestions. I followed the instructions at [1] and I'm now running with a 4.5 kernel.

I tried restarting ptp4l and the log [2] still shows the same clock jumped forward errors.
