[geeks] FOLLOWUP: jumbo frames on Dell T105

Just a followup:

The documentation from Broadcom for their gigE bcme controller says it  
does jumbo frames and so does their driver documentation.

However, I got a reply from one of their tech support people who says  
that the BCM5722 chipset does *NOT* support jumbo frames.

Since the driver apparently cannot do it, I guess the documentation is  
wrong, and I'll have to buy an Intel card to get jumbo frame support.

Obviously this sucks, but at least it has 4 potential slots for  
various gigE cards which do support jumbo frames.
