            Bug ID: 1561
           Summary: BNX2X: Jumbo frames not working on NetXtreme II
                    BCM57810
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 23.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: fgiordano@riverbed.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I have an application trying to read packets from a "NetXtreme II BCM57810" NIC
but jumbo frames seem to be silently ignored. I read from the documentation
that the bnx2x PMD doesn't allow MTU update nor does it support RX scatter
gather: is that the reason why I can't get jumbo frames to work on that NIC?

Follow up questions are:
- Is there anything I can do to receive Jumbo frames?
- What is exactly RX scatter gather?
- Do you have a plan to fix this in any upcoming release?

Thanks
