Thx for reviewing the patch, yes should be NETIF_F_RXCSUM

We have a recovery operation in our driver. What can we do in case this
recovery detects the checksumming is not available anymore (during runtime
of the device). ndo_fix_features callback does not come into play at this time.
How can we solve this?

Do you mean qeth_l3_set_rx_csum should set dev->features dependent of
the result of the checksum hardware operation?
