From d7018be0ae2aee988331d2908234d1a1ee3196ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 22:03:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: fix documentation The MTU values in the documentation do not match the source. The source has frame limit of IXGBE_MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE (9728) which is MTU of 9710 because of the accounting for Ethernet header and CRC. Also, don't refer to the obsolete ifconfig command.
