problem:

It is random, but because you use firefox more, you see it more there.
I got rid of the problem by running named as a local dns cache and
starting it with the -4 option so it only does IPv4 requests.
I already have "network.dns.disableIPv6" set to true on FF's configuration, and I added "install ipv6 /bin/true" to /etc/modprobe.conf to disable ipv6.
So, could this be indeed a Firefox bug? (doesn't seem so, but...)

I got some additional info: it seems all cached replies to DNS queries are being sent with wrong UDP checksum. Also, outbound queries are also going with wrong checksum.
I ran wireshark to analyze DNS traffic and 100% of the replies from 127.0.0.1 (dnsmasq) report incorrect checksum, and wireshark even suggests "maybe caused by UDP checksum offload?". All outbound queries (when dnsmaq doesn't have an address and relays the query to the external servers) also show the same problem.
It doesn't seem to be a dnsmasq problem, because queries sent by 'dig' for example also have wrong checksum. Could this be a problem at a lower level (such as the kernel driver for my ethernet controller)? Actually, is this a problem at all or can I safely ignore this?
(my ethernet controller is an onboard Intel 82566 DC-2 Gigabit)
Can someone else also run wireshark to see if they're getting checksum errors as well?

Andre
