Yep, Frame length and Capture length are 1514 bytes.  UDP checksum validation is already disabled.  Additional

It should also work on the box itself. Are you able to post the capture file so we can have a look at why it is 
failing?
UDP doesn't do fragmentation and reassembly. So I guess you need IP level reassembly. One possibility
is that the IP header checksum is not correct due to offloading. Does trying to disable the IP header checksum
validation help?


In the reassembly, we could remove the check whether the ip header
checksum is correct or not.
Genuinely invalid cheksums should be incredibly rare today  versus
being uninitialized/garbage due to offload.
