Thanks for confirming it works, because I was working without any
access to hardware.  I see you've updated flash-kernel to support it as
well.

I understand network performance on all RPi models is poor due to lack
of a built-in Ethernet MAC and the poor design of the USB interface.
Also that message is a generic error message from the usbnet core and
is not specific to the smsc95xx driver.

Were you using the network heavily, or do these messages appear
regardless of the level of network traffic?

I checked the latest Raspbian kernel I could find
(,3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u4+rpi1) and they don't have any patches to that
driver (other than adding a module parameter for no good reason).

Ben.
