Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:30:05 -0700 Message-ID: <1308285007-11302-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> Cc: Ben Greear To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mail.candelatech.com ([208.74.158.172]:56834 "EHLO ns3.lanforge.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751585Ab1FQEaR (ORCPT ); Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:30:17 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: From: Ben Greear 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.
