Just a quick question.  Does the sungem chip support jumbo frames?  I'd 
like to use MTU of 9000 to make large local transfers more efficient, 
but it didn't seem to work last time I checked.

Are you 100% certain you configured the other side to support jumbo?

Jumbo frames are non-standard, and sometimes require configuring MTU on 
the switch or remote network card (if directly connected).

Well, it's not enabled in the driver I think, or at least it wasn't last
time I looked. Dave told me the chip fifo's are too small to do anything
useful with jumbo frames.
