Hello.

Thanks for reviewing, Francois, Jon & Jeff!

OK, that will take me a bit longer to code. ;)
BUG() is a bit exagerated imho.
It seems like a pretty good way of avoiding a buffer overrun to me. 
E.g.: you copy an extra statistic in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats(), but 
forget to update the stats length. Is it not better to crash early, than 
encounter random behaviour later?

I can put an #ifdef RTL8169_DEBUG / #endif around it, if you'd be happier.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
