That driver has issues with the counters, resolved with the ElRepo and
Realtek drivers. Ifconfig shows no dropped packets with the latter two
drivers.

The dmesg statement comes from a printk statement in the driver. I
modified the driver to force the register to always load
rx=AllowMe|AllowAll|AllowBroadcast|AllowMulticast.
I surrounded it with printk statements so I know that it is entering and exiting
the rx setting. It acts like this variable is never being written to the chip
register. Hmmm, I think I need to look at their code some more to make
sure they ARE writing to the register.
Despite the kernel messages, the chip does not enter the promiscuous
mode. If you have a second box talking to a third address, do you see that
TCP traffic in TCPDump. Another way to check it is using iptraf.
