    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.
