Do you mean that the driver would get a packet exceed the size
which is set to RxMaxSize? I check it with our hw engineers.
They don't get any issue about RxMaxSize. And their test for
RxMaxSize register is fine.

For this case, I don't think the device provide a invalid value
for the receive descriptors. However, the driver sees a different
value. That is why I say the memory is unbelievable.

Best Regards,
Hayes
