I'm going to blame the USB ethernet driver for dropping packets; Thomas
Zenker has been reporting similar problems on -net.  He says that he did
not have problems with packet loss with 4.3, but has not been able to
track down what changed.  Maybe you could compare notes with him and see
what you can come up with.
