Commit c9027d8f added a detection of NIC HW features, but some of them are not available in old kernel. Very old kernels lack enum ethtool_flags and even if this enum is present, not all values are available for all kernels. To be sure that we have everything in kernel that we need, we must check for existence of newest value which is ETH_FLAG_TXVLAN. Only then we can be sure that the feature detection can be successfully built.
