I fear so. But I already back-ported this to 1.5, as I need it for my servers
(This was on my todo list but once again Jason was quicker than me :)
If you want it just tell me.

If works with any network card, but with a reduced MTU (1496 instead of 1500).
This will cause problems if you talk to switches, which keep a 1500 MTU on
VLANs. A few network drivers have been teached to accept full-sized 802.1q
frames. No list available yet, but just grep for ETHERCAP_VLAN_MTU
in sys/dev/*/*
