I had the same problem (invalid packet length) with a SIS Chipset based
Motherboard (Pentium). I've tested all of my WDC and SMC Elite 16 cards
(8013EB, 8013EP, ... and a clone) with different kernel settings, none
works. I've tried a 3Com 509B and a NE2000 clone and both work.

I've no problems using this hardware (SMC 8013EP) with the MS-DOS
version of NCSA's telnet.
