Hi Aleks! That's not true, however, as the stat is incremented in 
receive path and shown in ethtool -S. I think it is incredibly valuable 
to have in the ethtool stats that the hardware is "not offloading" a 
checksum. As well, all the other drivers in the high-speed Ethernet 
category have a similar counter.

I hope you'll agree it's still useful?
