Subject: tx-checksumming for an Intel Corporation 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile)
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:44:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200803271144.52812.toralf.foerster@gmx.de> (raw)
I'm wondering why I have to add this line in my startup scripts :
$> /usr/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tx off
to avoid that all outgoing packets have bad check sums (seen with wireshark).
Wouldn't it makes sense to make this behaviour as default ?
My system is a ThinkPad T41:
n22 ~ # uname -a
Linux n22 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 #5 Tue Mar 18 19:26:55 CET 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Pls response to my address too b/c I'm not currently subscribed.
