He he - that *would* be ancient!

The latest at meadowcourt - 0.11.0.308

In the Advanced tab of Xen Net Device Driver Properties, the first 4 items 
are:

Check Checksum on RX Packets - Enabled
Checksum Offload - Disabled
Don't fix the blank checksum on offload - Disabled
Large Send Offload - 8192

If I understand you correctly, 'Checksum Offload' is already disabled, and I 
just need to disable 'Large Send Offload', right? My dom0's peth0 is too old 
for ethtool to be useful. I'll try this tomorrow, if I don't hear further from 
you.

I use the non-debug version.

Thanx.
