Commit 1a8deec09d12 ("pegasus: fixes reported packet length") tried to
configure the hardware to not include the FCS/CRC of Ethernet frames.
Unfortunately, this does not work with the D-Link DSB-650TX (USB IDs
2001:4002 and 2001:400b): the transferred "packets" (in the terminology
of the hardware) still contain 4 additional octets. For IP packets in
Ethernet this is not a problem as IP packets contain their own lengths
fields but other protocols also see Ethernet frames that include the FCS
in the payload which might be a problem for some protocols.

I was not able to open the D-Link DSB-650TX as the case is a very tight
press fit and opening it would likely destroy it. However, according to
the source code the earlier revision of the D-Link DSB-650TX (USB ID
2001:4002) is a Pegasus (possibly AN986) and not Pegasus II (AN8511)
device. I also tried it with the later revision of the D-Link DSB-650TX
(USB ID 2001:400b) which is a Pegasus II device according to the source
code and had the same results. Therefore, I'm not sure whether the RXCS
(rx_crc_sent) field of the EC0 (Ethernet control_0) register has any
effect or in which revision of the hardware it is usable and has an
effect. As a result, it seems best to me to revert commit
1a8deec09d12 ("pegasus: fixes reported packet length") and to set the
RXCS (rx_crc_sent) field of the EC0 (Ethernet control_0) register so
that the FCS/CRC is always included.
