We've got a bit of a problem with MTU as it is dependent on our ring
speed.  The MTU for a 16mb ring will be higher than the MTU for a 4mb
ring.  Actually 'can be higher' is a better way to put it.

Some cards have a fixed speed (config the speed with a DOS util and live
with it.  Some cards will autodetect ring speed on insert.  Some cards
only support 4mb.

ISO88025 as that is what the sys/net/if_types.h calles it.
