    Hmm... Even the kernel doesn't use that define for anything. And
    rightfully so, the define is IMHO questionable at best...

    I'd vote for getting rid of the define altogether. Aprsdigi needs to be
    fixed to get the _real_ MTU info elsewhere (SIOCGIFMTU I think) if it
    really needs that info.
