Hello all,

code in such a solid state. I have had only one complaint so far: itYou can (or could in 2.4) sometimes play with the size for an individual IP by using the "mss" option of the old "route" command. That shouldn't glitch anything, it just should use little packets.
seems that the the "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit
Ethernet PCI Express" adapter, with the tg3 driver, downs and ups the
iface on MTU changes. Unfortunately, with some VPN software I use, it is
sometimes necessary to drop the MTU to 1300 or so to get consistent
connections. When I do this, though, ssh through the tunnel tends to not
function. I have a workaround, where I bounce over a different laptop,
but that's a bit of a pain (and that network adapter seems to be able to
transiently change the MTU). Not a big deal, in any case.
Yes, I see that still being an option. Let me go learn how to use route
and see if that works better.
