Well, the tcpdump command was still:


tcpdump -i eth0 -vvv '(tcp[tcpflags]&  tcp-syn != 0)&&  (ip[1] != 0x0)'

I didn't see any SYN|ACKs go out, but netperf.org would have had to set 
ECT for me to see a SYN|ACK going out.   FWIW, this is on a 2.6.31-15 
(Ubuntu) kernel with net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 2 and I don't think the SYNs 
themselves were negotiating ECN:

13:26:16.866007 IP (tos 0x3,CE, ttl 41, id 28850, offset 0, flags [DF], 
proto TCP (6), length 64)
     somesystemin.de.55363 > www.netperf.org.www: Flags [S], cksum 
0x4cfc (correct), seq 304457158, win 65535, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale
