How do I configure my IG nic to use jumbo frames?
Neither ifconfig nor ip work for me.


Does your NIC support jumbo frames?

The usual way to configure it seems to be "ifconfig ethX mtu 9000".


/Per

This command worked on Fedora 9, but not on suse.
f9: MSI K9N NEO motherboard with 1G nic
SUSE MSI K9N NEO V3 motherboard with 1G nic

That command also failed on OpenBSD which seems to
want 'mtu=X' instead of 'mtu X'. 1G Nic is Netgear 311.
