For a "low end" targetted chipset vge(4) is actually pretty damn good. It can do up to 16k Jumbos and has TCP/IP checksum offload which actually seems to work without any issues. The RealTek chipset (re(4)) cannot do a full standard sized Jumbo frame (9k) but only 7440 bytes instead, quite lame, and TX checksum offload seems to have issues with some revs of the chipset.
