Naturally, you are welcome to examine the programming manual for the Via chip and accomodate reception of larger packet sizes. Maybe you can just set a higher MRU value in some register. Or if it's like realtek, it doesn't care about larger packet sizes and it just works out of the box. You would know this if you set IFCAP_VLAN_MTU in the vr driver and 1500 byte packets come through with no further twiddling. -- There is no certainty, there is only opportunity
