[patch 07/16] forcedeth: fix checksum flag

[Greg KH]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit edcfe5f7e307846e578fb88d69fa27051fded0ab upstream

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags.  The hardware support
TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers).
However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without
extension headers.

Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets.

A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform
software checksum calculation.
