This is the reason why the tulip "vlan" patch is continually rejected. 
You shouldn't need to increase this constant, but rather follow the 
other "large MTU" driver conversions.

Donald Becker's tulip.c (on which the kernel tulip is based) supports 
proper MTU changing: ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/
