Bug#731006: linux-image-3.11-2-amd64: Network sending data at around 100 Mbit/s, receives around 1000Mbit/s

Hi Ben

Thanks for the answer. I am sorry that I haven't answered sooner, but I do not build kernels often, so I took me a while. 

I can confirm that the problem have disappeared running the kernel I build using your patch. My kernel is now:

Linux kelvin 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1a~test (2013-12-05) x86_64

Let me know if there is anything else I can do. 

Med venlig hilsen/Kind regards

Does the attached patch fix it?  Instructions for building a patched
kernel are at
