And also I have tested different packet size , I found odd len packet can't response, even can.  for example:
   ping -s 122 192.12.11.1   0% lost
   ping -s 123 192.12.11.1  100% lost
 thanks

Why are your using a packet size of 259x bytes ?? It just makes
no sense since the MTU of ethernet is about 1500.

Some early 630A/E chips has some kind of bugs due to semiconductor 
fab process. Probably you are just unlucky to get a bad one.
