Hello world...

I was to play with MTU ethernet parameter in my LAN to see if I can get
any speed improvement and found out that I can't get it more than
1500!!! Here is command and error:

[root@athlon root]# ifconfig eth0 mtu 1600
SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument

[root@athlon root]# ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
(no error)

But if I do 'ifconfig' alone it shows me that lo (local loopback
interface) has a MTU=16436 !!!!

Why can't I get my eth0 card to that MTU (even if it would make net
slower)???

Thanx to all gurus out there!!!
