FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #11: Sun Jun 13 00:34:30 EDT 1999

tx0: <SMC 83c170> rev 0x08 int a irq 10 on pci0.10.0
tx0: address 00:e0:29:2d:f2:12, type SMC9432TX, Auto-Neg 100Mbps 

>Description:

tx0 (SMC 10/100 card) truncates skip packets.  This may have something
to do with the bug in my previous pr, but it is not solved by
removing the 'EARLY_RX' define --- which makes me uncomfortable in
general.

When skip is enabled, a tcpdump on another machine on the same ethernet
will show 'truncated packet' for each ping packet that the host
is trying to return.

>How-To-Repeat:

Configur and install /usr/ports/security/skip on two machines, one of
which has a tx0.  Ping in either direction while a third host
watches the ethernet.  You will see 'truncated' packets.

>Fix:
	
I have had to replace tx0 cards with other cards to use skip.
