For ethernet packets, I'm claculating checksum in hardware but for TCP and
IP, its is in software only.

I checked above Macro in my opt.h and it is set to 1.

There is no implementation of above LWIP_CHKSUM routine in my ports. I could
find it only in "lwip/sr/core/inet_checksum.c" file of my project which is
mentioned in the file attached below:
lwip_chksum_routine.txt
<http://lwip.100.n7.nabble.com/file/n24136/lwip_chksum_routine.txt>  


One more think I wanted to ask about IP Checksum is that, for all those
packets transmitted from my box having IP checksum error, I analyzed those
packets in wireshark and found that there is error of only one bit for all
IP checksum. I mean for one TCP packet, wireshark gives error as follows:
"Header checksum: 0x065e [incorrect, should be 0x065d]". 
For another TCP packet, error was:
"Header checksum: 0x065c [incorrect, should be 0x065b]" 
So I think there is difference of only one bit for every checksum calculated
by my box and actual correct checksum. Hence for work around, can I decrease
1-bit at the end of every IP checksum calculation?
