They are either garbled are they are not passed on the wire. The
transmitted packets are shown by tshark, but a tshark run on "the other
end of the line" does not show them.

Platform is indeed x86, to be precise: fedora 7, kernel 2.6.22-rc6, cpu
pentium M, dell laptop inspiron 9300, ICH6.

If you want me to test something please yell, it's no trouble at all to
change a few lines in the driver's source and recompile the module.
