Subject: [PATCH 1/2] r8169: Jumbo Frames mini-increase
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 11:27:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050228172753.GA13280@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050227235210.GA27271@electric-eye.fr.zoreil.com>

This patch increases the maximum MTU from ~7k to 8169 (the maximum MTU
that will fit into a single descriptor).  

Applies cleanly to linux-2.6.11-rc4-mm1 and tested on amd64
