run "xm create --help_config | grep vif"
You'll see all possible parameters for vif. Here's what I use on one domU:

vif =   [
        'mac=00:16:3E:F3:AE:C0, bridge=br102, script=vif-bridge-snmp,
vifname=rad-eth0',
        ]

TCP checksum offload is supposed to make network faster, so AFAIK it's
a good idea to leave them on. Which is why I suggested you try newer
kernel to see if the problem is fixed there so you can run it with the
default settings.

AFAIK It has always been enabled by default. Like I said earlier, it
worked great on RHEL5 :D
