Can you elaborate a bit, please? 

Do the broadcom NIC drivers in general have problems delivering jumbo frames 
or your experience is specific to some OS platform & driver combination, 
exceeeding particular frame size, any other feature in use (802.1Q tags)?

Nevertheless, I've got a similar kind of feedback from my colleagues  
to pick Intel NICs considering driver support, performance and 
a need to tweek (lack of it).
