  I sometimes heard that wm had some problems with jumbo MTU, but I've
never checked whether it really has a bug or not. I suspect the bug
is not in NFS stack but in wm.

  I don't use jumbo MTU, so usually don't test the function when I add
the support of a new chip. Sorry :(
If someone show me a reproduceable configuraton, I'll try to fix it.

  Regards.
