Good point. Thanks for writing one.

It would be useful to list those NICs that can handle oversized
frames. I'm aware of Intel 82559 (fxp), TI ThunderLAN aka Compaq
Netelligent (tl), SMC EtherPower II aka SMC9432TX (tx) and later
3Com 3C905's (xl). (Not all of these drivers have the necessary
hooks in standard -CURRENT and I don't think oversized frames are
supported by kld's as standard).
