When I use default setting of MTU (1500), it does not work. But changing MTU to 400, it works well.
Does MTU(Maximum transmission unit) value have a possibility impact on ethernet connection in linux?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Looks like the same issue as reported here:
I would recommend contacting Realtek for clarification.
Which imx and kernel version are you using?
Where exactly have yo changed the MTU?

Does it work with kernel 3.16 with this driver?
If you try 3.16 and it still fails, then run
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -F drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c
and report the issue to the people listed by this command.
