Sorry for not commenting this further.

As the author of the simple natsemi patch referenced I would like to
look into this and find a solution that removes the error messages.
Unfortunately I have no free time right now or in the immediate
future, it'll likely take months until I get around to working on
this.

Fernando, did you notice if communication worked better with the
patch (and error messages) than without the patch or if there was no
difference?


As for hardware, I recommend e100 or e1000 cards and drivers, they
work very well.

I've made one test with the tg3 driver and the BCM5751M integrated in
my laptop and it appeared to work very well with VLANs without
needing any patches to handle oversize frames properly, but YMMV.
