Hello,
I move my network config from if-up to systemd and create a link file as 
follows:

root at s920:~# cat /etc/systemd/network/10-enp1s0f1.link
[Match]
MACAddress=00:19:99:b7:e0:99

[Link]
GenericSegmentationOffload=false
GenericReceiveOffload=false
TCPSegmentationOffload=false
root at s920:~#

The file seems to be used:

root at s920:~# networkctl status enp1s0f1
● 3: enp1s0f1

But tcp-segmentation-offload is still on or re-enabled by someone?
any ideas?

systemd is 252.12-1 (debian12)

Best regards
