>Description:
Enable mtu larger than 1500 on an em GigEthernet card and the machine 
reboots when receiving the first jumbo frame
	
>How-To-Repeat:
connect two boxen with intel PRO/1000 XT (82544-based) cards and use the em 
driver set mtu to 9011. Use an NFS mount and do something after a (short) 
while one of the machines will reboot. Set mtu to 1500 and it works!

Using win2000 on one end and Samba on the other doesn't trigger the bug as 
SMB either works over TCP or sends smaller packets.

	
>Fix:
Don't use jumbo frames for now.
