It shouldn't be happening in the driver. If we use ping6 to test if it is connected to network, CPUs would send out the NS packets and these packets will be looped back to CPUs. If driver does not drop these packets, they will be sent to protocol stack and protocol stack consider that there is a device with the same address and it is not available address. It will show us the log like "connect: Cannot assign requested address". Then it can not connect to the network enviroment. Thus, we drop these packets looped back in HNS driver. > > And once you remove that code, this patch here is no longer > necessary. > > Second of all, unless you card supports every protocol that > exists in the past, present, and _future_ you cannot set > skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECSSARY unconditionally like > that. > > You can only set that for protocols your chip actually supports.
