Generic networking device queues drop when the overflow.
Whatever dev->tx_queue_len is set to, the device driver needs
to be prepared to be able to queue successfully.
Most people run into problems when they run stupid UDP applications
that send a stream of tinygrams (<~64 bytes). The solutions are to
either fix the UDP app or restrict it's socket send buffer size.
