[PATCH 2/2] 8139too: Allow using the largest possible MTU

From: Alban Bedel
Date: Sun Nov 17 2013 - 08:39:19 EST


This driver allows MTU up to 1518 bytes which is not enought to run
batman-adv. Simply raise the maximum packet size up to the maximum
allowed by the transmit descriptor, 1792 bytes, giving a maximum MTU
of 1774 bytes.
