Hi everyone,

I'm building Ethereal 0.8.18 sources on MIPS/IRIX. Eventhough
the program builds fine and works great, the TCP checksum
verification seems broken. The content of the packet are
OK, I can pick out the data just fine.
Approximately 75% of TCP packets complain of an invalid
checksum.
MIPS/IRIX is a big endian system that doesn't permit
unaligned access.

Thanks in advance,

Jens Petersohn
