This hunk was just indentation; you should push the whitespace changes as a separate commit (and can push that now, under the trivial rule, without needing further review). [It doesn't help matters that thunderbird botched the whitespace in my reply]

Here's the meat of the proposed patch. Is 2kb always valid, or will we run into problems on NICs that insist on traditional limits near the 1518 mark? Should it be user-configurable? I'm reluctant to ACK this without a bit more understanding of why 2kb works, as well as feedback on test results with the patch in place.
