 From net80211/ieee80211.h:

/*
  * Maximum acceptable MTU is:
  *      IEEE80211_MAX_LEN - WEP overhead - CRC -
  *              QoS overhead - RSN/WPA overhead
  * Min is arbitrarily chosen > IEEE80211_MIN_LEN.  The default
  * mtu is Ethernet-compatible; it's set by ether_ifattach.
  */
#define IEEE80211_MTU_MAX               2290
#define IEEE80211_MTU_MIN               32

ath can actually handle very large packets (64K I believe) but the 
current driver won't chain rx descriptors together so it's limited to an 
mbuf cluster (2K).
