Subject: [PATCH] r8169 2.4.32 backport of change mtu
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 17:04:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44E3967B.3090901@airmail.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 361 bytes --]

Kernel 2.4.32 r8169 driver was missing change MTU.
It is back-ported from the kernel 2.6.16 r8169 driver.
Performance went from 40 megabyte/second (MTU 1500) to 58 megabyte/second
(MTU 7200) when testing with custom http server and wget for client.
Target and destination were both tmpfs volumes.

Feedback requested: Did I do it right? Does it work for you?
