    8139cp: fix checksum broken · 24b7ea9f

    I am not family with RealTek RTL-8139C+ series 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver.
    I try to guess the meaning of RxProtoIP and IPFail.
    RxProtoIP stands for received IPv4 packet that upper protocol is not tcp and udp.
    !(status & IPFail) is true means that driver correctly to check checksum in IPv4 header.
    
    If these are right, driver will set ip_summed with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for other
    upper protocol, e.g. sctp, igmp protocol. This will cause protocol stack ignores
    checksum check for packets with invalid checksum.
    
    This patch is only compile-test.
