The patch supplied by Gordon
http://generic.0xfce3.net/20060524-ipchecksum.patch
no longer exists, but I take a look at DragonFlyBSD,
I feel that modification follows my idea is modestly to FreeBSD
implementation.

A rewrite (port from DFly) of the IP checksum code exists since a long
time. ATM I don't remember who ported it (sorry!). I know that Andre
wanted to review the code as part of his network-fundraising work, but
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
and test if it solves your problem.
Bye,
Alexander.
