That is very incorrect.

All of the options you listed are internal to the network adapter itself and 
allow various optimisations in how the OS sends and receives data from the 
network adapter. None of those options changes the behaviour of the data on the 
wire, nor are they negotiated between anything else on the network (there are 
some options that are, like flow control, duplex etc, but these are not those)

If something was broken about the way the network adapter or driver implemented 
those offloads (quite a common thing in the past) then it would be equally 
broken no matter what modem was used, and would manifest itself in other ways.
