yep, sorry :( i realized that i also disabled counters only after
hitting the return key.

actually: do you know if the LANCE is programmed to pass up runt
packets etc. ? Because with a different (ne2000) card on the same
network i do see frequent short pkts (4..8 bytes) presumably result
of collisions, when using the card in promisc mode (bridge). I
thought this was the cause of the same problem with the 'lnc'
driver.
