Title:
  UDP checksum offload breaks DHCP on virtual machines

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When running an Ubuntu server on RHEL6 the dhclient on Ubuntu will
  report 'bad udp checksum' in response to the DHCP Offer packets coming
  from the Host.

  This is on a libvirt controlled KVM system using libvirt controlled
  dnsmasq processes on the Host.

  Optimisations within the kernel appear to be upsetting dhclient.
