Hi, today I noticed an interesting behavior where the PC NIC does not discard a received Ethernet frame, although it is larger than MTU on this NIC. For example, I made PC1[eth0] <-> [eth0]PC2 and PC1[eth0] <-> [eth0]PC3 connections and set the MTU on PC1 eth0 interface to 9000 bytes and MTU on

I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade to reach Jessie 8.7 from Wheezy. It's still using 3.16 kernel and Xorg server 1.12.4. apt-cache search linux-image shows me the various kernel versions to choose from backports, but apt-cache search xserver-xorg-core produces a short list with no versions.
