ok doing 'make' for bnx mtu right now. I knew that its configurable via rebuild, but if standard max value was not set by 5.5, does it mean that it can be turn on safely for kernel or for hw tx/rx rings, memory pages, etc..?
I have some time before install the box to production, so i can try 57711 a little. As i understood it will be done in 5.6 as stable driver?
