The problem with oversized frames is fixed in the -current kernel. It
should be fixed in 1.5.3.
My KA655 still has a problem with the transmit logic with the 1.5ZC kernel.

>As you can see, I have problems with oversized frames, and also some
messages with "xmit logic died". The "oversized frames" only occur on
kernel bootup, the "xmit logic" sometimes during normal operation. Also
sometimes my connection to the NFS server is down. The problems with the
"ra" drives can be ignored, because I'm using an Emulex controller which is
not in use at the moment.
