While you where staring at the code, I was fooling around with tcpdump. 
And while the problem is fixed, I still have some questions:

Is there tool which shows whether a nic supports ipv6 checksum offload 
or not?

I have captured http traffic (wget http://bootes/) between psion (my git 
tree following laptop) and bootes (something running 2.6.33.7).
Attached is a capture with psion running 2.6.37 and one with this 
morning's git tree. Wat's with the 'chsum ... ( incorrect -> ' lines ?
ifconfig does not show errors on either of the machines.
