Hello.

There is a huge memory leak in ARAnyM's nfeth.xif. Every packet sent over the network is not freed. As a result, the free FastRAM quickly shrinks when there is intensive network traffic. This is particularly visible when using the iperf tool. It is even worse, as it is kernel memory, and it is not automatically freed when the process exits.

The attached patch fixes this problem.
Alan, please commit!
