Subject: Re: What causes these TCP packet getting lost in linux kernel

It's interesting that all of the packets from source port 34865 to 
destination port 80 have invalid checksums.  The hint, that it could be 
a TCP offload engine, doesn't sound entirely believable because some 
value is being calculated and stored, not just a fixed or random value; 
and as the destination is port 80, I'm guessing that these the packets 
from your Android device, which probably doesn't have a TCP offload engine.
