The patch is here: <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/263116>

It does not disable checksum offloading but rather suppress the update of the
ip_summed field. This forces the kernel to recheck the checksums and discard
the packet. Otherwise it would be seen as a valid one and could corrupt data
streams.

Thanks,
