net.inet.tcp.tso: Enable TCP Segmentation Offload

I had a similar problem with a different NIC.  This option controls whether
we offload segmenting to the NIC.  My NIC seemed to be limited by the
number of interrupts which could be delivered.  You can also do this on a
card-by-card basis using "ifconfig <interface> -tso".
