I recently came across the documentation provided at
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/sf/ids/2003-q4/0029.html
for implementing the Netgraph Fast-Channel kernel module on FreeBSD 
systems it works great. One thing that I have not been able to figure 
out is how to change the mtu on the pseudo device to anything greater 
than 1500(I want mtu 9000). If I do

#ifconfig fec0 mtu 1000 (this works if its any value less than 1500)

but, if I do

#ifconfig fec0 mtu 9000 (I get the following: " ifconfig: ioctl (set 
mtu): Invalid argument ")

I also tried changing the "NG_FEC_MTU_Default 1500" line in the 
ng_fec.h file to

NG_FEC_MTU_Default 9000


and then do a build/install new kernel and build/install world. Still 
have no success. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HERE IS MY ENTIRE SCRIPT:
#! /bin/sh

  echo "load module";
  cd /usr/src/sys/modules/netgraph/fec/

  kldload /usr/src/sys/modules/netgraph/fec/ng_fec.ko

  echo "kldstat results";

  kldstat

  echo "create psuedo fec interfaces";

  ngctl mkpeer fec dummy fec

  echo "bind physical interfaces to pseudo devices";

  ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"em0"'
  ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"em1"'


  echo "set capture mode for each pseudo interface";
  ngctl msg fec0: set_mode_inet

  echo "set all physical and pseudo interfaces to promiscuous mode";
  ifconfig fec0 promisc
  ifconfig em0 promisc
  ifconfig em1 promisc

  echo "bring up pseudos";
  ifconfig fec0 up
