                               ^^^^^^^^^^
Back to the driver level: What would happen if your driver really works
in simplex (half duplex) mode? If it sends a packet while receiving one,
one of the two packets might get lost?

I am not sure how you really set up the ethernet controller, so the
flagged "simplex" might be misleading, but you should check it anyway.
