There might exist one, but I don't know of any.  (Ethereal doesn't have
any such option.)

Ethereal has an option to ignore bad checksums, in order to handle
interfaces that do checksum offloading; you might want to ask Merge
eFilm whether there's such an option in MergeDPM (and, if not, tell them
that it might be a Good Idea, so that you don't have to turn off
checksum offloading in order to use their software!).
