I really, really would like to be able to enable this kind of
debugging info without having to go into the code myself. You know I'm
qualified to do that myself, but it just doesn't happen.

Dropping packets due to bad checksums is also one such debug that I
think should show up if I configure my kernel sufficiently verbose.
