nfe(4) hardware checksum support

[Jukka Marin]

A happy new year,

Same to you.

Could anyone test the attached patch which enables
hardware checksumming on nfe(4), NVIDIA nForce
integrated Ethernet?

Has anything been done to fix the nfe freeze problem which causes the
packet reception to stop completely? The reception may or may not
resume after a few minutes. This problem forced me to install a PCI
networking card and stop using nfe.

Thanks,

-jm

I haven't used nfe(4) with so heavy load, but there are
some fixes for timeout problems recently:

This should be fixed in -current; can you please try the latest revision
of the driver?

Cheers,
