I know I'm stepping on thin ice hear - haven't touched Stevens for a while, (and I doubt it mentions offloading), but if the offload checksum is bad, why not just drop the packet? The way I read the driver, if the offload checksum is on, and if no errors where detected, then it's marked as ok. danny _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
