I've just had a look at the current version of ax88179_178a.c.
It still makes me pull my hair out....

Not the least of the problems is that it lies about skb->truesize.
All the receive skb are longer than 16k - so will be 64k, but
it sets skb->truesize based on the actual receive frame size.

A lot of the code is also 'over complicated' - making it slower
that strictly necessary.

There is also the more general problem that usbnet is horribly
inefficient for anything trying to run at Ge speeds (never mind
anything faster.
