I had to fix this bug in PCIP.  They 3c501 is VERY particular about how
to touch it when sending large broadcast frames.  I think the actual
number was more like 102 bytes.  Most drivers typically get lucky since
ARP frames are small.  Basically, the board gets confused when it sends
a frame that its own receiver recognizes as a receivable address.  I
don't remember exactly how I fixed it, you'll have to look at the
MIT/CMU/Harvard PCIP code.
