Please see my patch series of fixes:

This is not right because the h/w wants the size to include the 2 bytes
skipped at the beginning for NET_IP_ALIGN. The h/w may also corrupt 1-7
bytes of data at the head or tail if the frame is not 8 byte aligned and
padded. We are relying that skb allocations are aligned.
