Thanks.

4 bytes in excess.

Might be the FCS, and it does not look like provided csum has a relation with it.

For some reason FCS stripping was disabled by :

[SUNGEM]: Updates from PowerPC people.

Support more chips and split out all the complex PHY
handling into a seperate file.


Since this NIC never had CHECKSUM_COMPLETE support (since we have to trim each skb,
thus were forcing ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE) we probably should remove it and be happy.

Unless you guys find a way to let the NIC strip the FCS, and double check the csum is a real csum ;)
