The dohwcksum is not an rge option, it is an ip option (hence it is
named ip:dohwcksum) and it transcends NIC drivers.  But if that
didn't fix anything, then you should be able to safely ignore it.

Yeah, I've seen this sort of thing before, too.  I once had a switch
that lost its mind and wouldn't let big packets through unscathed.
We could telnet, ping, ftp, and do all sorts of things through the switch,
but we couldn't push NFS through.  These sorts of failures can be
difficult to isolate.
