At the netif input stage you have 60 bytes, which will I think include the 
ethernet header (14 bytes).  That leaves 46 bytes of IP packet, which is the 
value that the pbuf ends up as, so that calculation is correct.  However the IP 
header says there should be 52 bytes (or more in your subsequent post).  So my 
guess is that your netif driver is not passing up all the data.  Perhaps you 
have pbufs of length 60 and the driver is supposed to chain many of them 
together with all the data, but it isn't doing this correctly?
