Beware of the libstand/in_cksum.c bug. This hurts Alpha because the code
is actually used. On x86, we call the UDP transmit functions that PXE
provides directly and do not have to deal with this part of the code.
You'll either need to turn on the compile option to turn off udp checksums
within libstand or pull in the libstand in_cksum.c fix.
Cheers,
