oh, that is bad.  heaps of crc, framing and buffer errors -- real bad.

iirc:

   - crc means your packets are trashed when they get received
   - framing could be on the tx or the rx side (i forget)
   - buffer prolly indicates memory problems on the tx or rx side

the addr has 48 bits so it's the MAC address.
