Did my patch (two hunks) work for you or did you have to skip the
PKT_BUF_SZ part like Leo Laursen who started the original thread?

If you had to use only the rx_config part to make it work I would
expect you to get the above error messages. In that case we need to
find out why the PKT_BUF_SZ change doesn't work. Since Leo was
happy without it you should also be receiving packets, but I would
like to find out if we can improve the patch.

Yes, I'd expect that. Errors on one, errors on all. Same driver, same
behaviour.
