As a high-performance (10g) routing device, it seems normal the bpi-r4 would support at least 4k ethernet frames. Unfortunately, current settings seem disappointing:

Eth3 + 4 are pci rtl8125 devices, so not a part of the default config, but the maxmtu of the normal devices seems disappointing … Is this a feature that can be added to the driver later on? Or is it final?
