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.
