Attached is a patch which enables jumbo frames on de2104x based boards. It
makes it possible to set an MTU of up to 2025 bytes. However, testing against
an NE3200 board using 10base-2 shows assorted problems when going above 2018
bytes (for frames without VLAN tags). The problems show up as framing
errors, bad CRCs and such (in both directions).

The patch is against 2.6.0-test10 with 2.6.0-test9-bk24-netdrvr-exp1 on top
of it.
