If transmitting a packet the pad bytes are automatically appended by the
adapter card, that's not a bug.

The pad bytes are just behind the data of the received packet. Remember,
the 802.3 header and the IP header carry the length of the packet, the
protocol stacks can distinguish between data and pad.
