Description
I'd like to setup R6 to use both a static IP addy (which I know I can do in the service menu) AND I'd like to enable jumbo frames (mtu 4000 or 9000 for example). On R5.5 I would simply edit /etc/network/interfaces to do this. Below is my old R5.5 example. I'd like to know how to do this under R6.
Thanks! Also, this doesn't necessarily need to get into the service menu. If someone can just let me know, I think it can be a wiki page or howto post.
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.19
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
mtu 4000

To change the mtu for eth0 edit or create /etc/net/ifaces/eth0/iplink.
Insert the line:
mtu 800
This will change the mtu for eth0 to 800 instead of the default 1500. Obviously that value will not enable jumbo frames, but hopefully you get the idea.
