I requested a prototyping platform with MAC 100 or a MAC 1000 in order to make
more tests, but I don't have an ETA for it yet.

The implication of the multiple buffers patch in 3.xx is some flow change in the
configuration of dma op mode or similar. I would recomend Corentin to dump the
dma & mac registers in the end of the _open function in order to see if the DMA
is really being well configured and is really started.

Thanks.
