[PATCH 10/10] net: usb: smsc95xx: disable HW checksumming in driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We currently enable hardware checksumming, which means the NIC will add
two bytes of checksum after each packet with the computed checksum. We
don't use those two bytes however and will recompute the checksum
anyway.

Because we also don't adjust the size reported to the network stack to
be 2 bytes shorter, we trigger the newly introduced WARN_ON_ONCE when
DEBUG is #define'd that checks this condition, so let's just disable
the checksumming altogether and remove left-over dead code associated
with it.
