Not Seeing GRO Option?

[vapor]

Good Day

I am running stock firmware (3.0.0.4.370_172) on my RT-N66U but I do not see the option to enable/disable GRO in Advanced Settings > LAN > Switch Control.

Am I missing something?

GRO had more disadvantages than advantages, I know Merlin removed it, looks like Asus did the same

GRO support is broken in the old kernel used by the RT-N66U/RT-AC66U and leads to random router crashes. Asus now disables it by default.

Oh that's good to know. I thought I was missing something.

This is the latest thread I see about Generic Receive Offload (GRO).
What's the status of this? I read that it should be disabled because it was causing kernel panics, but when I look in the kernel message buffer it seems to be enabled on mine. Has the feature been fixed?
I'm running Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.35_alpha3.


admin@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# dmesg | grep "^gro"
gro enabled with interval 2
gro disabled
gro enabled with interval 2

Thei ssue was only with MIPS routers. GRO works fine on the RT-AC56 and RT-AC68, as they use a more recent kernel.
