dmesg|grep eth0
[4294671.426000] e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
[4294679.125000] e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex

# ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: on

So this theory doesn't seem to hold :-(
