I would guess the problem is at the DMA level, that the FCC is
reading/writing
ffs to/from memory for some reason.  The preamble and FCS come from the
FCC itself, not memory, so that's why you see them.  I'd guess some kind
of mismatch with the kind of cycles generated by the FCC DMA and the
memory controllers.
