    Not a bug, but it definately should be tunable. On my todo list.

    That's just fine. The remote station has chosen (due to a reset,
    perhaps) to send us normal KISS frames and we'll try to bring it
    back to CRC mode by sending CRC frames ourself. But we don't need
    to drop these CRC-less frames.

    Nope, but it should be possible to disable CRC modes completely.
