That's not the main problem. The big problem is that if a packet is
received when the buffer memory is being tested the driver will bomb out.
There doesn't appear to be a way to switch off this behaviour. That's as
well as the very-slow-at-doing-everything behaviour you sometimes get if
you boot up without a cable attached (that's a driver problem though
IMHO).
