>Description:
When trying to ssh to certain hosts (looks like ones on my local LAN, but I'm not 100% sure), I was noticing errors on console:

[ 256.3266933] eqos0: TX [45] tx error: 0x10009000
[ 256.3266933] eqos0: TX [48] tx error: 0x10009000
[ 256.3266933] eqos0: TX [56] tx error: 0x10009000

...and the ssh wouldn't complete.  A little digging showed that that error looks related to checksum offload, so I disabled it with:

ifconfig eqos0 -tcp4csum-tx -udp4csum-tx -ip4csum-tx

...and all the hosts I was having ssh issues with magically started working.
>How-To-Repeat:
ssh from the visionfive 2 board I'm setting up to a host on my LAN
See tx errors on console and output errors via netstat:

         netstat -i -I eqos0
Name  Mtu   Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs Colls
eqos0 1500  <Link>        6c:cf:39:00:af:d8     3708     1      819    20     0
eqos0 1500  fe80::/64     fe80::d395:465a:c     3708     1      819    20     0

>Fix:
yes please.  I'm currently working around it by disabling tx checksum offloading.

 The Linux driver suggests that the eqos version in that SoC
 doesn't support checksum offloading on the transmit path.
