I'm wondering why I have to add this line in my startup scripts : 

$> /usr/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tx off
to avoid that all outgoing packets have bad check sums (seen with wireshark).

Wouldn't it makes sense to make this behaviour as default ?

My system is a ThinkPad T41:

n22 ~ # uname -a
Linux n22 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 #5 Tue Mar 18 19:26:55 CET 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Pls response to my address too b/c I'm not currently subscribed.
