Reproduced with 2.6.22 w/ sky2 1.16 from git. We observe this
characteristic failure on the NFS server (always around 2-3GB of
transmit):
$ ifconfig lan0

I'll rebuild with debugfs and grab the debug you've exported.
In quiescent state [1] and in failure state [2]. This time, 2 framing
failures [3]; took 3.6GB of transmit to hit the window.
