Thanks to Jochen Kunz help with testing, the ioctl handling and
a bug in handlig Rx interrupts have been fixed.
Now the driver seems to be functional:

ping -nf 192.168.2.1
PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1): 56 data bytes
^C

----192.168.2.1 PING Statistics----
28949 packets transmitted, 28949 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.157/0.364/2.272/0.023 ms
  2710.6 packets/sec sent,  2710.6 packets/sec received

I hope, more people will give it a try now.
