What is the current state of TCP offload support in the NetBSD kernel?  I 
don't mean TCP checksumming or LSO, but actually allowing the adapter to
manage the entire TCP connection?

I'm currently porting the driver for a TOE card to NetBSD (from FreeBSD), and 
I know the manufacturer wants TOE support in NetBSD as well, but I couldn't
find any refernece in the code.  Sorry if I didn't find any obvious info 
searching the tech-net archives.

Thanks,

Patrick
