I doubt the remote end will co-operate by tcpdumping my session as
received at their end, the best I can do is a dump from my firewall
(which is doing masq, public facing NIC is a 3c589 PCMCIA card.)
But, locally:
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
8139too 0000:01:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf8914c00, 00:13:8f:cb:34:ef, IRQ 22
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8101'
# ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
Cannot get device rx csum settings: Operation not supported
rx-checksumming: off
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: off
Obtaining a tcpdump off my firewall shows that the checksums are correct:
