I'm wondering if we could hook this into the self-tests list with a suitable wrapper script, e.g. searching for a NIC exposing the loopback feature, quering the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM/NETIF_F_IP(V6)_CSUM bit via ethtool and guessing CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY vs CHECKSUM_COMPLETE via the received packet. If the host lacks a suitable device, the test is skipped. WDYT? Thanks! Paolo
