[En-Nut-Discussion] IP Checksum calculation broken. Reenabled old algorithm for the meantime.

Moin Harald,

> Ole, which CPU did you use?

I'm using LPC1778 with trunk HEAD.

Ok, so in general the alignment should always be the same, right? There
is no chance that we have a 4+2 byte alignment in one situation and a 4
byte alignment in another?

What's about the ICMP checksum thing where we calculate the checksum
just over a part of the ICMP packet data?

I'll do so with some test code later.

Bye,

Ole
