usb_fill_bulk_urb() receives buffer length parameter 8 bytes larger
than what's allocated by alloc_skb(); This seems to be a problem with
older (pegasus usb-1.1) devices, which may silently return more data
than the maximal packet length.
Going through the chip's documentation i figured out the ethernet
packet is appended with 4 bytes of status data. That's why we now
subtract 4 instead of 8 bytes from the reported packet length.
