+Subject: [PATCH] Allow free selection of MTU by the user
+
+Various ISPs (or equipment?) seem to hand out an MTU of only 576 bytes.
+Hwoever, this does not seem to be intentional which is why we would like
+to manually overwrite this in the configuration.
+
+dhcpcd only allows setting a maximum MTU of 1472 bytes which does not
+seem to have any rationale (any more). Although Ethernet might limit any
+MTU to less, IPv6 and IPv4 support MTUs of up to 64KiB.
+
+This patch allows the user to configure the MTU freely with providing
+some sanity check.
