Sorry for the delayed reply; I was just catching up on FreeBSD email, and I'm not sure that the above question was ever answered. The NIC is *required* to increment the IP ID by the Microsoft NDIS LSO spec. As I recall, this is checked for by WHQL tests. So any NIC whose vendor ships Windows drivers & supports TSO should be incrementing the IP ID. Even vendors who do not ship Windows drivers often refer to these NDIS specs, since they are the best documentation of many stateless offloads. Also note that NICs which support the "newer" LSOv2 spec only use the lower 15 bits of the IP ID space.
