The cxgb3 driver supports LRO. It is however not controllable through ethtool. The following patch allows ethtool to control LRO settings for cxgb3. It has been committed to upstream kernel.org: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=04ecb07241d8731b16490f10bec6ccedf5cfc792 Cheers, Divy
We don't have the kernel bits (set_flags and get_flags) to make this happen, so I'm not sure this patch offers much to us, right?
You're right. This patch won't help without the updated ethtool code. I guess we can close this. Cheers, Divy
My test kernels have been updated to include a patch for this bugzilla. http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/#rhel5 Please test them and report back your results.
My scripts automagically added comment #3 since I had originally backported the fix to rhel5 and added to my git tree just in case. It's really not needed for 5.3 however since it doesn't do anything. Closing out.
