You want the mtu option in the interfaces file, like so:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.17.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
mtu 1490
I'm not sure if you can use mtu with dynamically configured interfaces.
If not, then use the up option to run ifconfig when the interface is
configured, like:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1490
or something. There's lots of other funky stuff you can do in the
interfaces file. I highly recommend browsing the man page some time.
