Subject: r8169: fix driver drop incoming packets >= 1515 if MTU is set between 1515 and 1536
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:20:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AFB0061.7020908@apollo.lv> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 0 bytes --]



[-- Attachment #2: r8169-mtu1536.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 938 bytes --]

Driver drop incoming packets >= 1515(1) if MTU is set between 1515(1) and 1536.

1) exact number depends on some factors:
- VLAN tagged or not
- patch "r8169: Fix card drop incoming VLAN tagged MTU byte large jumbo frames"
  applied or not

Bonus: got rid of magic number 8
