 |
|
Hello,
Does someone knows how to set the mtu of an interface configured via dhcp ?
I use a home broadband router that does not support well my linux box when the MTU is set to 1500. Is there a way to configure /etc/conf.d/net to have my eth0 having his ip via dhcp but setting the mtu to a lower value ? Or do I have to use a static ip (probably easyer but, well, I love to learn new things  )
Regards. |

just add | Code: | | ifconfig eth0 mtu 1480 |
or whatever to your /etc/conf.d/local.start
It will change the MTU to the specified value as the last step in bootup |
