Please open new thread for this issue. I'm not aware of this and
this is the first time I heard for the checksum offloading issue of
nfe(4). Include dmesg output for your controller and let me know
whether it's really regression from 7.2-RELEASE. If you have
reliable way to reproduce the issue, please also let me know.
There is no nfe(4) source code differences between 7.2-RELEASE and
8.0-RELEASE.
