A rewrite (port from DFly) of the IP checksum code exists since a long =20
time. ATM I don't remember who ported it (sorry!). I know that Andre =20
wanted to review the code as part of his network-fundraising work, but =20
I don't remember the outcome (or if there's an outcome at all).

Search the archives of net/current/arch, maybe you can find it there =20
and test if it solves your problem.

Bye,
