Thanks for the response...but I was definately hoping for some better
news!
I'm guesing that to change this would mean at least a recompile of
the user-space 'ip' utility, (and who knows what else!)
Why o why did someone think that 256 was all anyone would ever want!
Think we could at least increase this to 16 bits for 2.5?
