What you need to do is run "tcpdump -envvvX" and take a careful look at
the packets being sent.
In particular, watch out for packets containing something like this:
"[bad tcp cksum 9f96 (->e867)!]", this generally means you have
misconstructed the packet-- watch out for required padding to align the
start of each protocol block.
However, you really need to run this command from another machine in
order to see what is really going out on the wire, running tcpdump
locally means it intercepts the traffic while it is still being
processed by the stack, and TXCSUM hardware or the like might change
things...
