Just a tiny bit over 80 characters. Wasn't the 80 characters line limit
removed a while back? I don't think line wrapping would make things more
readable here.

There could be a race. The driver or hw might have queued up some 802.3
frames after offload was disabled.

Tracing probably makes more sense. I'm not sure pcap or radiotap can
deal with a mix of 802.3 and 802.11 packets. Leaving offload enabled and
silently dropping 802.3 packets seems like a bad idea to me as well.
