Yeah, preamble (8 bytes), CRC (4 bytes), inter-packet gap (12 bytes).

Perhaps the via-rhine simply can't send out packets back-to-back and
needs 14 byte times of inter-packet gap.  I couldn't find any stray +2
in the driver anywhere but I'm just checking.

Couldn't you just sniff the resulting traffic to see if it is too big?
