if_bridge / ath - ether type 5e4 flags 3 len 1522 > max 1514

[JoaoBR]

an ath wl card stops definitely working after showing this messages: 

kernel: ath0: discard oversize frame ether type 5e4 flags 3 len 1522 > max 
1514

seems this packages are then beeing held in the ath tx buffer, filling it up, 
what then depending on the rate or quantity brings the ath card down, soon or 
later, only way getting it back is by reboot


this is when running in hostap mode and under if_bridge (with or w/o stp)


If I am not wrong a mac frame can be 1518 when untagged or 1522 when tagged

Now, I am wondering why the ath driver discards such packages when they appear 
to be of valid size

Also, if I am not wrong, who should discard the package if oversized is the 
bridge but not the interface
