A little bit familiar, I looked at different problem but it appeared on
hme driver(sbus-hme btw), I used sun's STP2002QFP doc (available from
www.sun.com) , and that says that maximum frame size is set by 
TX_MAC TxMaxFrameSize register(default 0x5ee = 1518).
I havn't noticed definition for it in hmeregs.h though. Anyway one thing
you should be aware that transmit buffer ring has _HME_BUFSZ which is
1600, I'm not sure you can set it to whatever you want and not break the
driver.

There is similar TX_MAC register for that as well. And receive buffer
ring too.
