Someone reported a problem with skge hardware receive checksumming and PPPOE but it looks like a generic problem. Since PPPOE adds additional header bytes the hardware computed checksum will be wrong. Not sure if this is correct, but shouldn't pppoe be doing the following:
Changing or expanding the link level headers should only mess up the hw checksum if you are using CHECKSUM_HW, is that what your skge driver is using?
