Hi Brad! perhaps I raised a ticket for nothing: I find people mentioning using jumbo frame on that card but no trace of the MTU size in the windows driver; some says it doesn't support jumbo frames, some others yes, the official doc I linked in the bug report says jumbo frames are supported... perhaps who'ss been working on the tg3 kernel module/portion has got better info...
Long story short: don't get mad at it ;) thanks, Alessandro 2016-06-22 18:00 GMT+02:00 Brad Figg <[email protected]>: > This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. > >From a terminal window please run: > > apport-collect 1595233 > > and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'. > > If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable > to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change > the bug status to 'Confirmed'. > > This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the > Ubuntu Kernel Team. > > ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Incomplete > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595233 > > Title: > unable to enable jumbo frames on supported card > > Status in linux package in Ubuntu: > Incomplete > > Bug description: > tech info in the attachment > the broadcom 5761 supports jumbo frames as stated in the official user > guide (page 5): > > https://www.broadcom.com/docs/support/ethernet_nic/Broadcom_NetLink-NetXtreme_DTM_15.4.pdf > > if I ty to set the MTU higher than 1500 I receive a "SIOCSIFMTU: > Invalid argument" error. > > Also tried with an old 12.04 disti but same effect. > > I have the feeling I'm doing something wrong but really can't find so > I came to the conclusion that must be a bug showing up for whatever > reason. > > Hardware is a Dell Precision M4800 with latest BIOS version (A13) > > let me know if you need further information from what is already > contained in the apport file. > > I've found some statements about the card not supporting jumbo frames > but nothing official. > > thanks, > Alessandro > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1595233/+subscriptions > ** Attachment added: "apport.linux-image-4.2.0-38-generic.zxumfbm6.apport" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595233/+attachment/4688607/+files/apport.linux-image-4.2.0-38-generic.zxumfbm6.apport -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595233 Title: unable to enable jumbo frames on supported card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1595233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
