Do not include the frame check sequence when adding the skb to
netif_receive_skb(). This causes problems when this interface was
bridged to a wifi ap and a big package should be forwarded from this
Ethernet driver through a bride to the wifi client.

Is this a real fix?

Don't get me wrong, but it sounds a little like a workaround for some
issue in another network layer ;)

Many drivers are doing similar things, b44 is one of them. Hopefully
someone more familiar with the network stack could say if this is the
right way to do this.

On a wireless client I saw that all packages directly from my router did
not had a FCS, but all the packages send from an other LAN client which
went through this driver had a FCS and where 4 bytes bigger and this FCS
was wrong.
