Once we get the calculation correct, I would vote for the default being "auto" 
(that is, the ingress and egress strings would be pre-configure to "auto"). It 
would be the right thing for virtually anyone, but people could change it in 
the name of research.

While I'm lobbying, I would still like to see the second item in the Link Layer 
choices be "Ethernet with overhead" (instead of simply "Ethernet') Doing this 
makes it easier to explain:

"None" means none. CeroWrt does not make any per-packet adjustments at all.

"Ethernet with overhead" means that CeroWrt assumes that each packet has an 
additional overhead of N bytes that needs to be taken into account.

"ATM: ..." means that CeroWrt accounts for the incredibly arcane (stupid?) 
vagaries of the ATM 48-in-53 byte framing.

Thanks.

Rich
