Hi Ulrich,

With or without the code relayout suggested by Sergei,

Also as he points out I used the same pattern for sh_eth while adding 
MTU configuration support so a similar patch there would be nice. I'm 
happy to see the fix to allow for changing the MTU when the device is up 
was so simple, yet I could not figure it out ;-) Nice work!
