Dear Experts,

I am using Intel 10GB x520 adapter with SR-IOV mode, so I use ixgbevf (2.0.0 from Sourceforge) in a Linux VM (RHEL). Everything works ok, but not setting MTU higher than 1500... (get error message like RTNETLINK answers: invalid argument). Is Jumbo Frames mode supported by this driver/virt.function.

cheers

Artem.
