But I was able to turn TSO on via ethtool -K. This is exactly the behavior I would like to see in tg3. So are you saying the patch I applied actually breaks ASF ?
Yes, the TSO firmware code that tg3 downloads to the chip using your patch will overwrite the ASF code. The ASF code will get reloaded again at the next chip reset once your patch is reverted.
