Just an update: just changed the WiFi packet size to 512 at home, and that fixed the problem there too.
If you have to do that, I'd suspect some other problem is causing this. Reducing the MTU is merely masking that problem. It's like driving a car that vibrates at 60 and you "fix" the problem by only driving at 30. IP is supposed to be able to handle different MTUs and fragmentation is one way it does that. MTU discovery may also be used. If you can do a full 1500 bytes on ethernet, but not on WiFi, then I'd start looking at the WiFi gear.
Since you brought up the matter of fragmentation, it may also be worth checking that the "don't fragment" isn't set somewhere along the line on this transmission. Yes, there is probably no reason why it should be, but there is no harm in checking, and it would be a sufficient explanation for the result. -- No problem exists that drink doesn't make worse. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
