Subject: [RFC 0/2] Allow NICs to pass Frame Checksum up the stack.

From: Ben Greear <greearb@...delatech.com>

This series provides ethtool support to set and get the rx-checksum
flag, and adds support to the e100 driver.

Assuming this series is acceptable, I would then propose a series of patches
to allow receiving all frames, even ones with bad checksums, etc.

And if that is acceptable, a third series would allow user-space to generate
packets with custom ethernet frame checksums (ie, bad ones if desired).

And finally, more drivers, such as e1000 and hopefully e100e can
be supported.

Ben Greear (2):
  net:  Support getting/setting RX-FCS in drivers.
  e100:  Support receiving Ethernet FCS.
