any hints on this one?  If I knew where the mtu was set in the openswan 
code, I could try recompiling with a hard coded value...

I am anticipating that someone will say use KLIPS rather than NETKEY :-(

incidentally, the KLIPS module fails to build on my machine (kernel 
2.6.24, openswan 2.6.19):

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24'

   WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/Module.symvers
            is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
