I actually tried to push the generic checksum idea for fm10k back
during hardware development but ended up losing that battle.  The
problem is you have to have some customer willing to spend the cash in
order to get a feature, and the fact is nobody other than Tom has been
pushing for this.

Very well, it is true that I only represent one user of networking
protocols, grant it a very large one. I will shut up now. If other
USERS want to chime in on what is best I'll certainly listen.
