OK, bringing up the onboard NICs again and comparing, both the onboard and Intel NICs were running with the following:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: on
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off
For the 88E8056 ethtool -k also give me this little charmer:
Cannot get device udp large send offload settings: Operation not supported
I'll have to check out how much things change when enabling ufo and gso for the Intel NICs. Though I can't really compare the hardware unless I get the Marvell NIC to be happy with UDP large send offload.
