Title:
  hyper-v: Hyper-V network broken for Trusty on Server 2008R2

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Due to a bug in the Hyper-V host verion 2008R2, we need to use a
  slightly smaller  receive buffer size, otherwise the buffer will not
  be accepted by the legacy hosts. Without this fix, the network driver
  will not load while hosting Trusty on Server 2008R2. The following
  patch addresses the problem:

  [PATCH net-next] hyperv: Change the receive buffer size for legacy
  hosts

  Due to a bug in the Hyper-V host verion 2008R2, we need to use a slightly smaller
   receive buffer size, otherwise the buffer will not be accepted by the legacy hosts.
