The e1000 can very well do hardware checksumming on transmit.
The missing piece of the puzzle is that his application is not
using sendfile(), without which no transmit checksum offload
can take place.
As far as I've understood, sendfile() won't do much good with large files. Is
this right?
We're talking of 3-6GB files here ...
