The data network (eth1) always used MTUs of 9000 and these are solely configured via the DHCP server. Apart from that, no modprobe, modutils.d setting for jumbo frames. Next thing I do is I could o set the MTU to 1500 o power the system down o reboot into the new kernel with e1000e o see what happens Anything else I should/could try?
