Shouldn't that be IFF_SAVE_FCS rather than IFF_ACCEPT_ALL_FRAMES?

I don't understand this part of the code. The 55x docs say that the IP
checksum bytes are transferred to memory _following_ the FCS.

s/atapter/adapter/g

s/etherne /ethernet /g too, somewhere, IIRC.

I find it disappointing that the good, old 82586 transfers long frames to
memory without complaint while newer chips such as the 82557 and tulip
can't/don't.
