It is also not mentioned in /boot/defaults/loader.conf as a possible
module to pre-load, and it is not in LINT, which is worrisome.  The
only mention of it seems to be the man page and the existence of the
loadable module.

Otherwise, it works great for me on a Dell PowerEdge 1650:

# ifconfig -a

        options=3<rxcsum,txcsum>
