Thank you _ever_ so much for posting that.  I've been trying to figure out
why on earth my Comcast broadband connection kept getting stuck with 576
for the MTU.  The Comcast DHCP server must have been recalling that from
an old lease, because my FC-12 laptop would get an MTU of 1500 but my
FC-12 desktop kept getting 576 (connecting each directly to the modem).

Happy at MTU=1500 now.
