For standard frames, 82573/82574/82583 can enable L1 but L0s must be disabled, and for jumbo frames 82573/82574 must disable L1. This allows for some parts to enable L1 in certain configurations leading to better power savings. Also according to the same errata, Early Receive (ERT) should be disabled on 82573 when using jumbo frames.
