Stephan was able to develop a patch that allows the driver to receive at
decent rates. However, the patch is to ignore bogus receiver status
errors. This appears to be an errata in the hardware. The only time this
might cause a problem is if there is a real CRC error in the packet and
the packet is not checksummed by an upper layer, e.g. ICMP or some UDP.

I've asked Stephan to Cc me when the sky2 driver changes are submitted
upstream. The patches that I have from him succeed with fuzz, so I want
to make sure I have correct sources.
