Do you have a big-endian machine by accident?

Anyway control flags with 0x02 is some sort of scanning trap... 
These packages can be produces easily by setting chan->flags = 2 (or 4,6?)
and setting the dwell timers as well in p54_set_freq.

Since we don't do this, is there any chance you can hexdump 
the unknown/corrupted frames?

and as a last shot: try another firmware, maybe this one works better for you.
