Hello kernel folks,

I recently decided to reinstall my Lenovo W500 laptop and found I wasn't able 
to get DHCP leases, I wasn't able to install over PXE (when getting the IP a 
second time within the OS)

Fedora is currently using kernel-3.6.2-2.fc18.x86_64 (Pre-beta)

The only difference I noticed was in my old install of Fedora, I had added 
MTU=9000 to the interface config while using a 3.5 kernel, not knowing 3.6.x 
seems to break things.

I have noticed tx unit hang errors sometimes, but not when MTU is above 1500.

When I set MTU = 1500 (2000 works), it will stop receiving packets, it also 
disables Interrupt Throttling when MTU is set higher.

After testing reasons why it wasn't get a DHCP lease, I decided to bump the 
MTU to 9000 for Jumbo Frames and as soon as I did this, I was able to get a 
lease and the network functioned.

Can anyone else report regressions?

Thanks,
Shawn.
