So why a special mtu handler is not implemented in 802.11 stack : - 802.11 stack doesn't support bigger packet - 802.11 stack doesn't support very bigger packet (with 802.11 fragmentation) - 802.11 writers were lazyI suspect the latter...patches welcome! :-)d80211 supports larger MTU.
I have a patch for 802.11 linux stack. It works for mtu like 2000 but if the packet is fragmented (with mtu = 3000 for example) my usb dongle (zd1211) crash (doesn't work anymore until I replug it). I need to investigate a bit. Also I wonder what should be the max mtu. Matthieu
