At least for the 2.6.38 that sounds clear. My initial post was about
3.5. and 3.10 test kernels that showed the missing aggregation. So
I'm still a bit away from a solution. I will try to get the test machine
back to 3.10/3.11 to validate it once again. 

Just to be on the right way: What are the basics to get GRO working 
with a ConnectX (not 2 or 3) card in 2044 MTU datagram mode? 

- enable GRO with ethtool.
- Activate Coalescing with ethtool? If yes how?

Thanks for the help.
