Re: [Bug 1595233] Missing required logs.

 

Hi Brad!

perhaps I raised a ticket for nothing: I find people mentioning using jumbo
frame on that card but no trace of the MTU size in the windows driver; some
says it doesn't support jumbo frames, some others yes, the official doc I
linked in the bug report says jumbo frames are supported... perhaps who'ss
been working on the tg3 kernel module/portion has got better info...

Long story short: don't get mad at it ;)

thanks,
Alessandro

Title:
  unable to enable jumbo frames on supported card

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  tech info in the attachment
  the broadcom 5761 supports jumbo frames as stated in the official user guide (page 5):
  https://www.broadcom.com/docs/support/ethernet_nic/Broadcom_NetLink-NetXtreme_DTM_15.4.pdf

  if I ty to set the MTU higher than 1500 I receive a "SIOCSIFMTU:
  Invalid argument" error.

  Also tried with an old 12.04 disti but same effect.

  I have the feeling I'm doing something wrong but really can't find so
  I came to the conclusion that must be a bug showing up for whatever
  reason.

  Hardware is a Dell Precision M4800 with latest BIOS version (A13)

  let me know if you need further information from what is already
  contained in the apport file.

  I've found some statements about the card not supporting jumbo frames
  but nothing official.

  thanks,
  Alessandro
