ipwireless: Preallocate received packet buffers with MRU size
Packets are assembled from link size (~300 bytes) up to PPP MRU
(1500 by default). Try to preallocate full size rather than
repeatedly advance buffer size by 256 bytes.

ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue size
Increase default size of PPP outgoing queue. Currently set to 1, which
means that a packet quickly following another pushed by PPP must wait
until hardware actually sends the previous and PPP has to be waken up
by ppp_wakeup(). This slows down upstream.
Now PPP can push more packets at once which get buffered inside driver
and pushed immediatelly to hardware when previous packet is out.
Experiments show that size = 10 is quite good for all connection types
(GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and gains 4 KB/sec of upload for UMTS for batch uploads.
Need for higher queue size than 10 occures in only < 0.1 % of cases.

The device is manufactured by IPWireless. In some countries (for
example Czech Republic, T-Mobile ISP) this card is shipped for service
called UMTS 4G.
It's a piece of PCMCIA "4G" UMTS PPP networking hardware that presents
itself as a serial character device (i.e. looks like usual modem to
userspace, accepts AT commands, etc).
