Hi all,

I'm new to the community so forgive me if I've not landed in the right place 
for this question.  I've been reading up on the xge driver for the Neterion 
Xframe II 10Gb adapter and how to enable jumbo frames or, to be more accurate, 
not really reading a whole lot due to a terrible lack of docs (the man page is 
pretty sparse).  IIRC, I was able to accomplish this in Solaris 10 update 3 
some time ago but abandoned it due to some other hosts I have including the 
BCM5721 device which does not support large frames.  Anyway, long story short, 
there is no documentation on how to get the xge driver to support jumbo frames. 
 I created /kernel/drv/xge.conf and added "default_mtu=9000;" as is par for 
many other drivers, I checked 'dladm' (I'm on Sol10 10/08) to see if any of the 
new Brussels features made their way in (and no dice... this, despite the fact 
that all the dladm man pages on docs.sun.com already include those features... 
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2240/dladm-1m?a=v
 iew -- what gives?!??!?!), and I even pored over 'ndd' to see if there were 
any tunables for MTU, SDU, anything.  Is there something obvious I'm missing 
here?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

-Brian
