Patched driver's been running fine for a couple of days & nights with
constant beating... just those RX MAC fifo overflows every now and then
(though they cause no data corruption and no big hit on the driver perfs

I must have done something stupid with the pause settings.

In the meantime, Eric's patch is all good.
