Basically, make use of the following:

1) TCP applications using normal write/sendmsg to send data
2) TCP applications using sys_sendfile to send data
(f.e. pftpd or some other server which makes use of Linux's
sendfile())
3) NFS client side activity

on both cards supporting sg+csum and those which do not.
