You can't turn off the hello timer, it is needed for Spanning Tree to
work. The kernel should reject requests to set hello timer < 1sec.
Most routers allow 1 - 10sec.
I am going to do a new patch to add tighter range checking for STP timer
settings and another to default fowarding delay of zero if STP is disabled.
