Sorry about this, but when I dig a bit into this, I found that
I had a pretty old ethtool:
> root@fs:~# ethtool --help
> ethtool version 5

So my ethtool did not know anything about gro, because by
looking at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=network/ethtool/ethtool.git;a=shortlog
I saw I had this one:
2006-09-01	Jeff Garzik	Release version 5. origin v5
and gro reading/setting was added "a bit later"...
2009-03-06	Jeff Garzik	Get/set GRO settings.

So, I went on and compiled myself a new ethtool:
> root@fs:~# ethtool -h
> ethtool version 2.6.35
> Usage:
> ethtool DEVNAME Display standard information about device
> ...
And run it on my 2.6.34.4 kernel, which produced these:
>

> tx-checksumming: on

But again, this is on 2.6.34.4. Could it be that
"generic-receive-offload" is ON by default on my
only gigabit capable tg3 card on 2.6.35.x and later?

I will try to determine this myself later, but the
machine is a gateway on the local area network, and
is needed from the user here...

Thanks!
