I've already reported this problem to syskonnect few weeks ago (without
success as I see).
There is a ASIC bug in several popular motherboards (including ASUS ones)
related to TX hardware checksum.
For packets smaller that 56 bytes (payload), as UDP dns queries, the asic
generates a bad checksum making the drivers unusable for "normal" Internet
usage:
12:50:26.602458 192.168.0.10.33520 > 192.168.0.3.53: [bad udp cksum 617e!]
55764+ [45727n] A? ponti.gallimedina.net. (39) (DF) (ttl 64, id 8705, len 67)
12:50:26.733664 192.168.0.10.33515 > 192.168.0.3.53: [bad udp cksum 5e7e!]...
12:50:40.603124 192.168.0.10.33520 > 192.168.0.3.53: [bad udp cksum 617e!]...

12:50:54.604568 192.168.0.10.33526 > 192.168.0.3.53: [bad udp cksum 717e!]...
12:50:54.744493 192.168.0.10.33523 > 192.168.0.3.53: [bad udp cksum 607e!]...
The only solution is to comment out
#define USE_SK_TX_CHECKSUM
in skge.c
Could be this an option in Kconfig?

Mirko will have a look as soon as he have time.

Thanks, I just sent a Kconfig patch as a workaround:

BTW, I'm testing it in a ASUS P4800 Deluxe motherboard, which has the asic

Should work fine with version 6.16 of the driver (does so
here at least with a P4C800):

Hi Jeff
Any chance that we could get the sk98lin drivers updated ? Mirko did
not respond as of yet, but the 6.16 version fixes the HW checksum issues
with most (if not all) Asus boards and maybe some others ...
Thanks,

Tested with -test4, it works nicely. Thanks.
Could this new version be included in -test5? Otherwise is useless for
lots of users (at least I received lots of "me too").

Thanks, I'll test tonight and let you know if there are any
issues.

I need to apply attached patch to test4-bk5 to get it to compile (on
SMP). Other than that, it seems ok.
