Actually the feedback we got from the driver and sys-admin
community  is exactly the opposite. Their feedback (see
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=42078&tstart=15)
suggest that users are frequently confused about what mtu
to use (some machines make an adjustment for layer 2 headers,
some dont) so providing a "standard" and "jumbo" option
in a gui is in the spirit of simplification (custom mtu
can always be achieved via the cli).

good point.  We'll take this into consideration.
