O.k., understood. But the receiving router verifies the checksum of incoming packets and sends them on the firewire link. On firewire we have CRC checksums to ensure the integrity of packets.
I agree with your patch but I don't see why we should check them in the driver. I thought your patch will ensure that the checksums will be verified in the upper layers.
