The r8152 driver has been broken since (approx) 3.16.xx
when support was added for hardware RX checksums
on newer chip versions. Symptoms include random
segfaults and silent data corruption over NFS.
The hardware checksum logig does not work on the VER_02
dongles I have here when used with a slow embedded system CPU.
Google reveals others reporting similar issues on Raspberry Pi.

Our hw engineer says only VER_01 has the issue about rx checksum.
I need more information for checking it.
I have poked at it some more, and thus far it appears that it is
only necessary to disable TCP rx checksums. The system doesn't crash
when only IP/UDP checksums are enabled, but does when TCP checksums are on.
This happens regardless of whether RX_AGG is disabled or enabled,
and increasing/decreasing the number of RX URBs (RTL8152_MAX_RX)
doesn't seem to affect it.
