[gentoo-dev] gentoo-magic pointers, iproute2 mtu

[James Northrup]

this is my first join or post of gentoo-dev in what might be 4 years of 
enjoying the distro.  in the beginning, both myself and Larry the Cow 
had an easy time hacking anything effortlessly and gracefully into an 
obviously simple and powerful layout.  

two things i have run across while attempting to massage traffic for a 
realtime voip appliance in a spare-time endeavor:

1) mtu settings are not well documented where iproute2 is the module of 
choice.  the closest net.example config example seems to be vlan's 
"set_flag 1".  i f want to set mtu on an interface the only solution 
appears to be write another /etc/init.d script which does  ip link set ...

bringing me to
2) where is the gentoo magic documentation centrally enumerated, such as:
kernel patch magic behavior
init.d syntax du jour
ebuild 123's
forgive the redundance of this query, there's alot to weed through and 
the job at hand is [sometimes] a 5 minute operation.
