In my experience, the LED blink is caused by circuitry in the PHY.

I realize that that was your original question and my hoping to show
how to confirm that it really was a CRC issue didn't address that. I'm
afraid that it has been quite a long time since I have done any CRC in
code. At the time, I took a sample short packet from a trace similar
to ethereal, then ran the numbers through my algorithm to see if I can
up with the same CRC as the trace showed.

If your problem is your ethernet card dropping the packets, why don't you
give your localhost interface a go?

How do you send packets from an external, single-board computer to a
PC's localhost interface?
