Synopsis: bge1 mtu problem State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: yongari State-Changed-When: Wed Mar 2 18:43:36 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: The commit message you referred to does not apply to your controller. bge(4) supports jumbo frame on controllers that provide extended RX BD capability. Even though your controller BCM5714 supports very limited set of jumbo frame it has severe hardware limitation which make it hard to coexist existing controllers which have different and efficient jumbo frame scheme. I think other OSes also do not support jumbo frame on BCM5714 family. Because there is no easy way to support this exotic jumbo frame scheme without sacrificing a lot of sane controllers I have no plan to implement the limited jumbo frame scheme on BCM5704. I also think you wouldn't get much benefit from this kind of jumbo frame support due to the limitation of hardware.
