First, thanks for developing these drivers! You guys rock.

I recently bought a LINKSKEY LKW-G750 adapter on newegg. This looks
like one of the more popular usb sticks there, and it's only $20 with
shipping:

The adapter works well on Ubuntu 7.1, but I notice a large number of
errors in ifconfig output:

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:18:55:1F:70
          inet addr:192.168.0.103  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::250:18ff:fe55:1f70/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:562 errors:3 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:366806 (358.2 KB)  TX bytes:85650 (83.6 KB)

(this is after a couple of minutes of the card running)

Pretty sure this is not a problem with the network, as the other card
in the laptop never reports errors.

Any idea why there are errors? Are they harmless?
