In any case, the stack is more flexible for inbound packets.
As long as you negotiate *any* kind of hardware checksum

a per-packet basis.

Though, in itself this can be a pain. If I have an interface that can offload receive side checksum calculation but not transmit (perhaps the transmit hardware is broken) I'm stuck, as the receive side offload is ignored unless I claim to be able to do transmit side offload.

This (requiring the ability to perform transmit side offload to permit receive side offload) is new with Yosemite, as it never used to be the case. What was the rationale?
