--- Comment #19 from Vincenzo Maffione <vmaffione@FreeBSD.org> ---
If I'm not mistaken if_vtnet with jumbo frames should work even if the host
does not support rx mergeable buffers... if that doesn't work I would be
inclined to think that this particular situation is not supported by the dr=
iver
(IOW 64KB packets are not handled). Can somebody test it again with the
stable/11 code?

And yes, currently rx mergeable buffers are advertised by the host only when
the vale net backend is used (for both if_vtnet and e1000).

However, now that I think about that, rx mergeable buffers is not something
that actually depends on the net backend, so if we advertise them in any ca=
se
(e.g., also with the tap backend), things should magically work. I'll test =
this
theory in the next days.
