The same goes for the e100 driver from Intel (haven't looked at the
non-default settings very much though); perhaps slightly worse as the
eepro100 driver, though the e100 driver seems to be able to limit limit
the resulting errors (overflow) to one source, while the eepro100 driver
distributes the errors over the different network sources, making them
all corrupt.
