What I believe happens is that when the RX overflow condition occurs,
there will be some packets that will be corrupted as a result.
I find it really odd that you can reproduce this condition so readily.
Does it happen under normal usage or do you have to issue a ping flood
or some other packet intensive job to trigger the problem? Also, are
you getting Pause enabled on the link consistently?
