Linux is perfectly fine with setting 9000 byte MTU on ethernet devices that support it, and in fact just about every gigabit ethernet driver supports it. That macro you see in if_ether.h is just the value of the base MTU limit, so larger MTU settings are easily allowable on a per-device basis. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
