tag 408453 + patch
thanks
The v4tunnel method in ifupdown doesn't have a mtu option (see man
interfaces). All non-existant options are ignored.
If you want to set the mtu on your tunnel, a possible solution would be
to use the "up" option and issue a "ip link set <device> mtu <size>".
I've attached a (trivial but completely untested) patch against ifupdown
0.7~alpha3 (plus the patch in #255222 which shouldn't cause problems
except a warning for a bit of offset) which adds an mtu option in
v4tunnel.
Friently reminder for anyone who apply the patch: don't forget to update
the autogenerated files by running noweb ifupdown.nw after applying it.
