I confirmed this by moving the cable to my second on-board NIC (Intel) on the same workstation, which restored video output without any other kernel changes. My affected on-board NIC is Aquantia AQC113 [1d6a:04c0] (rev 03), atlantic driver, firmware 1.3.34, MTU 1500.

The working Intel NIC reports tx-udp-segmentation as "off [fixed]", so traffic falls back to software UDP segmentation on there.

For Moonlight, I have been using the Flatpak distributed on Flathub because the client device runs an atomic rootfs, but you can also use any other device that Moonlight supports.

Thanks for verifying!

I will finalize this and submit a proper patch soon.
