The datasheet i have for the 6161 shows that bits 13:12 control jumbo
mode. So at least the code fits the datasheet. Also, when describing
global 1 register 4, bit 10, it is reserved. However, the diagram at
the beginning of the global1 section does list bit 10 as being MAX
frame size.

So your testing suggests the data sheet which Chris and I have is
wrong. The change you suggest makes use of the older method of
controlling the MTU.

I will create a patch based on your suggestion.
