Hi Teresa,

I would guess you have a bug in a network driver.  As the commit text
says, this patch simply allows a box to remain functional if a bad offload
bug is introduced in the kernel.

I would recommend you to report a new bug so that we can help you with
this (simply run 'ubuntu-bug linux' in a console to report a new bug).

Cheers,
