2012-02-24net: Support RX-ALL feature flag.Ben Greear
This flag requests that network devices pass all received frames up the stack, even ones with errors such as invalid FCS (frame check sum). This will allow sniffers to see bad packets and perhaps give the user some idea how to fix the problem.

2012-02-24net: Support RXFCS feature flag.Ben Greear
When set on hardware that supports the feature, this causes the Ethernet FCS to be appended to the end of the skb. Useful for sniffing packets.
