I verified tunnel offload works properly with bnx2x (I'm using simple
vxlan interfaces not OVS).

One possibility I can think of is that UDP checksums are somehow
enabled. If you're using IPv6 this probably the case (but I assume
you're seeing this with IPv4). If checksums are inadvertently enabled
somehow in IPv4 this should should up in tcpdump on the Ethernet
interface.

Thanks,
Tom
