During these experiments I found something very weird :)

The RPi has two dongles: WiFi and BT

Things *do* work, if the LAN cable is plugged in - even if the interface is down in the system.
The moment I pull the cable, I soon get the familiar buffer overflow and a flood of errors.
How is that possible? :)

That’s without a powered hub so far.

So where is the filtering done? In the kernel driver?
