Hi, I am getting these values returned, not entirely sure what I am looking at;
mrblonde:~# ethtool -k eth0 Offload parameters for eth0: rx-checksumming: on tx-checksumming: on scatter-gather: on tcp-segmentation-offload: off udp-fragmentation-offload: off generic-segmentation-offload: on generic-receive-offload: off large-receive-offload: off ntuple-filters: off receive-hashing: off Does this appear to be good? I've checked the chipset specs and it supports checksum offloading.
