Hanspeter,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! I haven't had the chance to look over
the Wireshark capture, but typically that message in your setup (e.g. not
using linuxptp on the link partners and bursting the traffic) means that
the hardware simply cannot process the Rx timestamp requests quickly
enough. I'd recommend trying to space out the DELAY_REQ traffic a little
better if at all possible.

I've CC'd Dave Ertman, the e1000e maintainer, in case there's anything
further we can help with.

Cheers,
Matthew
