Bugger I think I lost your patch in the noise. Sorry about that, it'll
be in the next version.

Hmmm could be a firmware issue, I'll need to look at it. It is however
a kind of bug that only root can cause deliberately. Doing ifconfig
mtu foo ; ifconfig mtu bar is a little far from normal operation ;-)
