Actually, I'm still also having trouble figuring out how this happens in the first place. Please draw a specific detailed network diagram, show the exact configuration of each interface and exactly what driver runs that interface, and show where the packet comes from, who creates it, and where these checksum settings are done that lead to this problem. Like Eric, I'm very suspicious and I think that there is some problem with whoever builds or modifies this packet, and the code you are touching has no business "fixing it up" Thank you.
