Oops. I did not test this on the actual 2.6.21-rc2 before sending it.
It worked fine for me on 2.6.18.

In the meantime it tested the patch below on 2.6.21.

In fact CHECKSUM_COMPLETE seems to be used on the receiving side while
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is the one to be used while sending frames. Thus the
latter is the one to chose.
