svn commit: r268235 - head/sys/mips/atheros

New Revision: 268235

Log:
  Properly advertise that if_arge can handle long frames (if_arge is set to
  handle packets up to 1536 bytes)
  
  This fixes the need to frag that could happen when using vlans on top of
  if_arge (which is a common case for the use the switch ports as individual
  NICs).
  
  Previously to this commit any vlan setup with if_arge as parent would have
  the MTU of the parent interface reduced by the size of dot1q header
  (4 bytes).
  
  Tested on TP-Link 1043ND (where the WAN port is just a switch port setup to
  tag packets in a different VLAN than the LAN ports).
  
  Reported and tested by:	Harm Weites (harm at weites.com)
