I have just been doing some debugging on my 5.2.1 box and noticed that
outgoing tcp packets on the box are coming up with bad checksums on
tcpdump. I am using the nge interface.

Here is a sample output.

12:44:29.458021 0:4:e2:10:60:83 0:c:6e:4e:a0:cc ip 82:
hawk.gnome.co.uk.ssh > kite.gnome.co.uk.2167: P [bad tcp cksum 9420!]
2071:2099(28) ack 753 win 65535 (DF) [tos 0x10]  (ttl 64, id 35623, len
68, bad cksum 0!)

12:44:29.642088 0:c:6e:4e:a0:cc 0:4:e2:10:60:83 ip 60:
kite.gnome.co.uk.2167 > hawk.gnome.co.uk.ssh: . [tcp sum ok] 753:753(0)
ack 2099 win 64956 (DF) (ttl 128, id 44852, len 40)


Any ideas whats going on as the packet does not seem to be resent?
