YES! this seems to fix my issue. I had partially turned off offloaded with
ethtool -K p1p2 tx off rx off but i didn't have the other options turned
off as discussed in that blog post... These options below fixed my issue:

ethtool -K p1p2 rx off
ethtool -K p1p2 tx off
ethtool -K p1p2 sg off
ethtool -K p1p2 tso off
ethtool -K p1p2 ufo off
ethtool -K p1p2 gso off
ethtool -K p1p2 gro off
ethtool -K p1p2 lro off

Thanks Doug!!!

Thanks
Josh
