+Subject: [PATCH] net: lan78xx: Disable TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO)
+
+TSO seems to be having issues when packets are dropped and the
+remote end uses Selective Acknowledge (SACK) to denote that
+data is missing. The missing data is never resent, so the
+connection eventually stalls.
+
+There is a module parameter of enable_tso added to allow
+further debugging without forcing a rebuild of the kernel.
