Looking at the trace, I don't think ebtables plays any part since
it appears only on the receive path while the checksum problem is
on the transmit path.

I'm tempted to blame tg3's management of netdev feature setting
since it's far from obvious whether it enables TSOv6 only if IPv6
checksumming is also enabled.

Unfortunately I'm still stuck in some bog at the moment, but
hopefully I can resume looking at this issue in a couple of days.

Thanks,
