Yeah - I noticed the 'system-wide' part myself.
ToE and VIFs go together like peanut butter and jelly - time to make it happen, guys! :)

of a VIF. I originally thought this meant 'etherchannel' given that LACP wasn't supported with 10GbE, but re-reading it appears to imply _any_ VIF, even single-mode (it wasn't specified, so I have to assume any VIF).
I can confirm that TOE gets disabled even with a single vif. The filer showed the following message while creating a single vif with 2 10 Gb ports:
"The system-wide TCP Offload Engine (TOE) functionality was changed to off due to vif on TOE restriction."
And I looks even worse considering it turns it off system wide, meaning you can't have TOE on a non-vif 10 Gb port next to a 10 Gb vif!
I hope they will enable TOE with vifs in the near future.
