off the top of my head, i'd say that you should expect to.  fragments
are necessarily incomplete so the total checksum will be not
calculable.  only after reassembly should you be able to check the
checksum.  this is ip fragmentation, after all, not tcp fragmentation.

sorry...i've no idea.  just wanted to toss in my two cents above.
