Tried that, but it didn't seem to work. I'll test it again. The man page didn't mention an mtu option though. > 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 Yay, that sounds good. I swear I did RTFM, but didn't see the up option as being relevant at the time. =) > > or something. There's lots of other funky stuff you can do in the > interfaces file.
