Thanks Emil,

Looking at the ethtool stats, there appears to be no lro_flushed or 
lro_coal entries, so I assume the Fedora kernel 2.6.26.6 either has not 
been built with LRO support, or as you mention, it is being disabled.

The only other puzzle I am trying to solve, is why I do not see MSI-X 
interrupts being used.

The card is in an MCH slot on a 5400 chipset and I have pci=msi set as a 
kernel parameter (required to be able to use MSI on Fedora kernels), but 
/proc interrupts on shows PCI-MSI-edge being used.
Regards,

Richard
