The 6.2.15 driver off http://prdownloads.sf.net/e1000 will enable it by default. We've gone through our release approval, which includes quite a bit of testing. If the patches posted recently don't include that support, I missed something :-)
This is only on the 82571 and greater hardware that packet split is supported, BTW. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
