That is how checksum offloading works.
tcpdump can't see a correct checksum, because it is not calculated
by the kernel and left for the hardware.

Yes, I got it.

However checksum offloading is broken for re(4) based cards, therefor
it is disabled by default.

I don't think so.... at least, I did nothing to enable it, but it were
indeed enabled (RXCSUM,TXCSU showed up in the options field shown by
ifconfig)
