Any news on this ? AST2400 has no HW checksum logic in HW, AST2500
should work for IPV4 fine, we should only selectively disable it for
IPV6.
Ben, I have already sent v2 for this with requested change which only disable
for IPV6 in AST2500. I can send it again.
Can you do an updated patch ?
Cheers,
Ben.
