Turning off CRC check in NIC

[Carl-Johan Bostorp <ctor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I want to turn off the CRC check on ethernet frames and pass every packet up to 
the kernel. I have an eepro100, so I mailed Intel about it and asked for specs. 
The reply I got was that the kernel may actually rely on the NIC doing this 
check.

So, what's the deal? What effects will there be if the NIC starts passing 
everything up to the kernel?
