Does netfilter disable TCP checksum offload?

Hi There,

I am trying to use TCP checksum offload under Linux. I
found that if I install the netfilter, I cannot use
TCP checksum offload feature. Because "nf_hook_slow"
is called if there is any HOOK registered in the
output path, and "skb->ip_summed" is set to
"CHECKSUM_NONE" eventually.

Am I right about that I cannot use TCP checksum
offload feature if there is any HOOK registered in the
output path? If it's right, how can I use TCP checksum
offload feature while having the netfilter installed.
Can I do it but disabling some netfilter options?

Thanks,

Bluesea
