I see that you're explicitly checking for loopback packets and only 
converting from big-endian for them.

This seems strange, given that the datasheets for both the i350 and the 
82576 state that the VLAN tag is big-endian.  If it's actually 
little-endian then the datasheets need updating.

Okay, fair enough.
