[RFC 0/2] Allow NICs to pass Frame Checksum up the stack.
From: <hidden>

From: Ben Greear <redacted> This series provides ethtool support to set and get the rx-checksum flag, and adds support to the e100 driver. Assuming this series is acceptable, I would then propose a series of patches to allow receiving all frames, even ones with bad checksums, etc. And if that is acceptable, a third series would allow user-space to generate packets with custom ethernet frame checksums (ie, bad ones if desired). And finally, more drivers, such as e1000 and hopefully e100e can be supported.
