Are there any 3rd party NIC klds yet? If we're going to be having a module flag day, I'm thinking that it might be a good time to MFC Jonathan Lemon's checksum offloading code. Doing this would require changing MSIZE to 256, which in turn would require recompiling any module using mbufs (all NICs, network filesystems, etc).
