With the VLAN stuff that suddenly appeared, I did some large packet
testing... I would typically cap the MTU limit at just under the FIFO
size, since it often requires special handling doing frames > FIFO size.
I do not look forward to re-verifying the 2.4 tulip driver across all

the kernel] works. :)
