Hi Breno.

This reminds me something I noticed in this driver.

In receive path, it unconditionally sets skb->ip_summed to
CHECKSUM_UNECESSARY, for _all_ frames, and this seems very suspect.

Shouldnt cqe->inet_checksum_value be checked or something ?

Are frames with bad checksum completely ignored at hardware level ?

Thanks
