sky2 loses packets on 3.0 (-3 and -5) and 3.1-rc7, 2.6.32-38 and
setting interface to promiscuous works.

It looks like this is a bug in accounting of VLAN tags, though I don't
see what difference promiscuous mode should make.

The log messages show that status has the VLAN flag (bit 13) set and the
length field (bits 16:28) equals the length passed into sky2_receive(),
but that function expects the length field to be greater by VLAN_HLEN.

This device is:
