Hi,

why softmac (and maybe device using linux 80211 stack) can't increase
their mtu above 1500 ?

IRRC 802.11 allow to send bigger frame. Moreover some driver like airo
allow to use mtu biger than 2000.

The maximum value for MTU is set in include/linux/if_ether.h for all ethernet-type communications, not in softmac or ieee80211. I doubt that one could easily change the number. It may be that the 802.11 standard allows bigger frames, but it looks to me as if Linux does not.
