Hi,
I'm working with a MPC8540 trying to measure the performance of the built
in GigE. I'm running 2.4.25 on the PPC. On the other end is a Dell
Precision M60 laptop with it's Broadcom 5705 GigE Chip I'm running RH9 and
can't seem to get the MTU much larger than 1500. I'd like to simply
transfer 8192 byte jumbo frames from the Dell to the MPC8540 running an echo
server.
Any suggestions? Is there a better list for this type of question?
Phil

Phil,
I believe with the latest driver you can set the mtu to 8192 and get
jumbo frame support for the 8540. (ifconfig will allow you to set the
mtu)
