SubjectRe: [PATCH] firewire net: Ensure checksumming in upper layer.

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.
