Chaim, thanks for looking into this.  The key piece that would be useful
to know is if the 9018 should really be 9022 if you account for both
VLAN header and CRC.  Based on the documentation for the Windows driver
that seems to be the case as they support an MTU of 9014 excluding the 8
bytes for CRC and VLAN header.
