After reading this mail, I checked em(4)/lem(4) code and noticed these drivers removed CSUM_IP capability as well. igb(4) didn't support CSUM_IP from day 1 but em(4)/lem(4) used to take advantage of IP checksum offloading capability. Given that these drivers share many code with Linux, Jack may know the details and why IP checksum offloading code was removed. Note, Linux does not use IP checksum offloading so I guess this could be oversight in shared code. BTW, hackers may not be right ML to post this kind of post. CCed to jfv@, the driver maintainer.
