I believe I read somewhere that 802.11b standard supports larger MTUs = than 1500. I know basic ethernet MTU is 1500 but even my crappy old Nortel 8603 = routing switch supports up to MTU 1960 Any corrections appreciated // Sten -----Original Message----- From: David Magda [mailto:dmagda@magda.ca]=20 Sent: 2. januar 2003 21:59 To: Evren Yurtesen Cc: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG; wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu Subject: Re: wi0 and mtu setting Evren Yurtesen <eyurtese@turkuamk.fi> writes: > I wonder how come wi driver doesnt let me to set mtu higher than 1500=20 > even though I know the card supports it?

I believe 1Gbit Ethernet is = slightly different but would have to look up specifics. --=20 David Magda <dmagda at ee.ryerson.ca> Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under = the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well=20 under the new. -- Niccolo Machiavelli, _The Prince_, Chapter VI To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
