ok doing 'make' for bnx mtu right now. I knew that its configurable via rebuild, but if standard max value was not set by 5.5, does it mean that it can be turn on safely for kernel or for hw tx/rx rings, memory pages, etc..? I have some time before install the box to production, so i can try 577

Hi! Currently using 5.5-stable and It seems (as per hwfeatures) that driver for BCM 5709 (1GE dual port adapter) doesnt support jumbo frames at all which is critical for activation mpls on bnx. The card supports jumbo itself. Return invalid argument when trying to setup jumbo via ifconfig. is th
