This is probably a FAQ, but it isn't in any FAQ that I can find. :-)

Does the 3Com Vortex driver for Linux supports the TCP/IP checksumming
using the card ASIC?

I guess it doesn't, but I couldn't find anything to say it did or
didn't. In either case, it would be nice to put a note on
http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html to that effect.

If it doesn't, is there a huge barrier to doing so?
