I made some more tests. All Packets which are forwarded by the bridge
with two 8139 are on the receiving side 4 bytes longer than on the
sending side. When the size of the packet goes over 1500 some environments
(kernel version and ethernet driver) drop the packets and other seems to
strip the additional bytes and reply my ping packets also with a four
byte to large reply packet...
