Packets still received with bad IP checksum. Went back to bge0 now and reversed rev 178675 back to 172506 care of patch via http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/7/sbin/dhclient/bpf.c?r1=172506&r2=178675&view=patch Also no change. So this change to dhclient doesn't seem to be the issue. >From looking at http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/7/sbin/dhclient/ this patch I took out is 7 months old, and I had this system running on 7-STABLE just fine about as of about 2-3 weeks ago. So it must have been something else in the sys/net or sys/netinet. I do seem some changes that are 3 weeks old, 4 weeks, and 6 days for these directories on files that would effect the packet assembly. Authors are julian, rwatson, and bz. I'm going to look through these recent changes to try to find some that has to do with the checksum process. -Jon -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
