Stephen,
Thanks for your reply. My experience with the r8169 driver is that it
does support rx checksumming, tx checksumming, scatter/gather and tcp
segmentation, but out of the above only enables rx checksumming by default.
The other two ethernet drivers I have hardware for don't support any
hardware-assisted offloads (that is: they all support generic
segmentation offload but that isn't hardware-assisted and it is also not
enabled by default).
Best regards, Jan
