I think the filter problem is related to a bogus multicast filter or
something like that. There is another problem, which is documented in
Darwin, and which cause the chip to corrupt packets in the chip's send
queue when there's a collision. The workaround they use is to send
additional packet datas to the chip from the chip send interrupt instead
of the DBDMA interrupt, thus preventing more than 1 packet to be queued
in the chip.
