Would you happen to know what the maximum MTU you could use on the
wireless interface?

For example, if I have an ethernet network that can support jumbo frames
like on a gigabit interface, how large of an MTU could I use on the
wireless interface. In my case I'm using Atheros wireless devices, so I
don't know if that matters.
