Because the maximum size of the data poriton in a frame for 10Mbit
and 100Mbit Ethernet is 1500.
That makes no sense to me. 802.11 is not ethernet.
And since it's mandatory to use IPSec, SKIP or some other encapsulating
security protocol for wireless (THANKS! IEEE!), these all reduce the
advertised MTU size to upper layers to avoid frags. It would be nice
if this reduced mtu size were 1500.
