sk98lin and jumbo frames

Everything I've read about the sk98lin driver
and my 3C940 ethernet device ( onboard Lan )
says that it supports a 9000 ( or 9014 byte ) MTU.

if I do
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000 ( or 9014 )
I get an error. I can do
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
and that works...

The sk98lin driver code doesn't say anything
about large MTUs. 9000 and 9014 don't seem to
be listed in the source any where.

I've looked at the 3c2000 driver ( looks like
the sk98lin code ) from asus and I've looked at
the latest linux kernel code.

Does anyone know if the sk98lin driver really
supports a large MTU?

Thanks - jack

Yes it does.


eth11 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:5A:9C:66:FC
inet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:9000 Metric:1

0000:01:03.0 Ethernet controller: Syskonnect (Schneider & Koch) SK-98xx V2.0

No proof that eth11 is 0000:01:03.0, you just have to believe me

Any reason why you don't use skge? IMHO sk98lin is really buggy.
