Not really.

Indeed. However it's perfectly possible to set up a jumbo-frame capable NIC
with vlans under linux, using vconfig.

Doing it manually does have a rather steep learning curve though. I spent
some time tinkering with it a couple of years ago, and I did eventually get
a test setup working. Sadly I've all but completely forgotten the hows and
whys.

What the OP is asking about is how to do it through YaST.

Me neither, but it *would* be a nice addition.

No. That's something else.
