+ ---help---
+ This option adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
+ table.
+
+ You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in
+ a packet that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful,
+ if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients,
+ that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to disable
+ checksum offload in your device.
+
+ To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
