Yep, I do...

Well, I shouldn't be getting any as I'm at 100mbit full duplex...

Well, the problem is that it's isn't every now and again.. No matter
what I do, I cannot send that packet.. it happens on ever boot.. when
I do a manual dns query: host 192.168.0.1  but if I change the length
slightly: host 192.168.0.14 it works..  No matter what is going on,
the packet will not transmit...

Well, the problem is that this bug makes the board close to unusable,
since some packets won't TX...  it's not that the packet will finally
go through, the same data will never be transmitted...
