I think you actually found the culprit, though fixing this is not as
simple as reverting this line.  I changed the check to
DC_TXCTL_FIRSTFRAG because that's the descriptor which will have a link
to the mbuf, while it was previously done for the LASTFRAG descriptor.
However, I didn't think about the code flow enough it seems.  If you
don't have a fix for this soon, I should be able to do it pretty easily,
assuming I find the time.

Thanks,
Maxime
