That said, maybe the Because bpf(4) see the frame before controller inserts checksum value it always reports incorrect checksum. It's normal for TX checksum offload capable controller. In order to verify the hardware assisted checksum you should check that on receiver side. If the checksum was invalid, receiver dropped them.
