Oops, I meant the ML115, not 110. My mistake, so we do have identical systems..
Maybe you need to install 'xenstore-utils'?
# dpkg -S xenstore-ls
xenstore-utils: /usr/bin/xenstore-ls
xen-utils-3.1-1: /usr/lib/xen-3.1-1/bin/xenstore-ls
xen-utils-unstable: /usr/lib/xen-unstable/bin/xenstore-ls

You are correct. But that removed xen-utils, and now I no longer have 'xm' and 'xentop'? Re-installing xen-utils will, of course, remove xenstore-utils. Anyway, I pasted the output of xenstore-ls below.

I'm using Xen 3.2.something from etch-backports. My kernel is
2.6.18-xen-amd64 which I assume is built from the same source as yours.
Mine is also from etch-backports
That is only udp large send offload. The one you want to notice is 'tcp
segmentation offload', which is 'on' on my system.
My mistake again, tso is off and can't be enabled manually with ethtool.

Here is the output of xenstore-ls:
0 = ""
backend-id = "0"
mac = "00:04:fc:40:e4:22"
handle = "0"
state = "4"
backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vif/12/0"
tx-ring-ref = "15992"
rx-ring-ref = "15960"
event-channel = "7"
feature-no-csum-offload = "0"
feature-sg = "1"
feature-gso-tcpv4 = "0"
request-rx-copy = "1"
feature-rx-notify = "1"

Any idea why my tso is disabled and yours not? Btw, I'm happy with the results so far, so if it's too much trouble to get this working, we can leave this one alone. I guess it's my problem the system / kernel doesn't support tso, it's just strange that we both test on the same system with different results.
