This changes is why I asked what kernel version you were testing with on your I210. Intel documents these time offsets in the spec sheet for the I210. There are no offsets listed for the I211 or I354.

Before I try and make a case to the driver and hardware folk, I think I need to be able to explain how stamps on both two linux systems can sometimes be in agreement with stamps on the second interface and sometimes not. Given just the following two tests:
igb0 @ 1Gb; igb3 @ 100Mb direct connect: 192.168.230.245 shows offset of +1230ns
igb0 @ 100Mb; igb3 @ 100Mb, direct connect: 192.168.230.245 shows no offset
I cannot explain why the two linux systems do not disagree on stamps in the second test. Can you think of something that the driver or hardware could be doing that would explain that?
