I'm struck by how often new users continue to get bitten by needing -C
due to checksum offloading. Would it work to provide checksum auto-sensing?
Something like: if upon reading from an interface the very first packet
has a checksum error, assume that -C is needed; verify this, though, for
the next N packets, just to be safe.
