New Revision: 217832
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/217832

Log:
  Disable TSO for all Realtek controllers. Experimentation showed
  RTL8111C generated corrupted frames where TCP option header was
  broken. All other sample controllers I have did not show such
  problem so it could be RTL8111C specific issue. Because there are
  too many variants it's hard to tell how many controllers have such
  issue. Just disable TSO by default but have user override it.
