I can still occasionally see that message with a 15000 ms sleep.

Based on debugging, it seems my firmware is now setting the mac-mask properly.

But, as you mention, the rxfilter is enabled very early.  So, probably
it is still possible to see packets early if they are multicast, bcast, etc.

I don't think it is worth re-working the entire rx-filter calc in
the concurrency logic properly for 10.1 firmware, so I'm going to figure
my fix is good enough as is as long as it sets the mac-mask properly.

Thanks,
Ben
