  I am seeing the exact same problem with my Dell Latitude D800 laptop using
Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M Gigabit Ethernet 
(rev 01)
This is a relatively common and not so recent configuration.

[root@localhost ~]# ethtool -K eth0 tso off
Cannot set device tcp segmentation offload settings: Operation not supported

  too bad ...
  with 'swiotlb=force swiotlb=8m' kernel parameters the box is stable,
without it very basic network access can crash it (say 'locate lib' over ssh)
and then the whole system reboots.

  100% reproductible for me, and without crazy hardware :-)

   Hope this helps,

Daniel
