I assume they would go into the HDR_LEN corret?

That can be handled in the ioctl routines.  In iso88025_ioctl you
must check that they have not exceeded ISO88025MTU (or absolute
max) and then in the interface ioctl ex tok_ioctl that they have
not exceeded the cards capacity.  Actually I think that is reversed :)

On another note, could you look at my code for iso88025_ioctl it 
is panic'ing when I set the ip address or netmask, oops.
