The real problem is that these drivers are not in the upstream kernel.

Are there common reasons why these drivers are not upstream?

One might be that upstream has not accepted them. Anything doing or smelling of TOE comes to mind right away.


Which modules doing or smelling of TOE do work with unmodified vendor kernels?

At the very real risk of further demonstrating my Linux vocabulary limitations, I believe there is a "Linux Sockets Acceleration" module/whatnot for NetXen and related 10G NICs, and a cxgb3_toe (?) module for Chelsio 10G NICs.
