1 Hello,
2
3 I am getting a
4
5 SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument [ok]
6
7 message when re/starting eth0. I am wondering about that. The router's
8 MTU is set at 1500. Looking at the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 it seems the
9 inteface metrics should be calculated automatically.
10
11 Any ideas about where to look for the reason for the message? Additional
12 info below.
13
14 Thanks,
