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.

Yes, this diff also fixes the issue.
