I also saw some other messages regarding the same issue on the net. None of them is answered correctly; and also as if this is a very "forbidden" thing to disable the checksums, most replies are as if they are "unbreakable rules of god". Really, I am losing my patience with this. It is also very odd to write a low-level application in order to just disable a "feature" of the kernel to deal with a faulty piece of embedded firmware. In reply to; ------------ He already stated that he was dealing with a very expensive, very broken piece of hardware, and he needs a way to work around it. Many of us have been in this situation, I will not name names ;-). Telling him to just replace it is not helpful. Lee
