    Hi Tom.  Thanks much for your work with this problem.  I'm
    effected by major bce problems as well.  Right now I'd be happy to
    get it working properly with an MTU of 1500.  To that end I'm
    unable to get your patch to apply cleanly to my FreeBSD 6.2 tree.
    Most likely I've lost track of what patches in this thread to
    apply before your patch.

    If you have time, would you be so kind to cook a diff against a
    vanilla FreeBSD 6.2 tree or let me know which patches to apply
    first?

    Thanks!
