Ah, you mean that I need to turn off UDP checksum on receive end as well
in IPv6... true.
For those interested, I am dealing with a UDP app that already does very
strong checksumming and encryption, so additional software checksumming
at the lower layers is quite simply a waste of CPU cycles. Hardware
checksumming is fine, as long as its "free."
