Yep. Thanks for pointing it out.

I _think_ it is fixed. But this is just for "management"
frames. Normal data frames heading to the CPU because of MAC address
learning should have all the normal QoS operations the switch supports
to determining their priority.

Humm. What happened to my spell checker?

It could be. But i'm not aware of any suitable existing API to
configure this. So i went KISS and used the hard coded value.
