I signed up to thank you for this insight. It's the kind of thing you would eventually find out on your own too but having read it somewhere in words saves time when something wonky happens somewhere and the data supports the conclusion. There are people who would swear by the chips/ hardware not being an issue (which is usually correct but not always).

I wonder, why would somebody use 204 bytes -> 1632 bits, why not less (why not more for e.g. jumbo frames). Is there some data sheet / source that you would recommend?
