Default IP fragmentation with linux kernel 2.4.x

Hi,

I'm looking for informations (urls, documentation, etc.) that can confirm
the following linux kernel behavior.

It seems that in case of IP fragmentation, linux kernel 2.4.x start to
send the last ip fragment first. I think it do it to get easier
calcultation of the total IP packet lenght on the target side.

I have a firewall (commercial and proprietary) that don't accept to
receive the last fragmented packet first. So as I can't change this
firewall (sorry) I would like to know if I can modify this kernel
behavior.

Thanks for your help.
