Do you mean even low rate traffic like ping?

Things like:
- write to IO registers when device is not initialized yet or when
device is powered off
- write to IO registers that do not exist
- Initialize RX/TX ring related IO registers, before RX/TX ring is initialized.
- RX/TX ring is not correctly initialized
- buffer is (wrongly) freed/trashed when device is doing DMA
