I dont complain! =) : Sorry! Well, this converstation needs to take place on the net@ list. In -current, at least, if_ethersubr.c prevents 'ethernet' drivers from setting the mtu higher. There's some experimental patches that make 802.11 its own network thing which were ported over from NetBSD, but even those don't allow one to set it higher since it just uses the if_ethersubr code path for mtu setting. So while I'll make it possible for the wi driver, it won't help at all until this higher level stuff is resolved.
