ethernet and switches, was Re: [rescue] Mozilla Firefox

[Kevin]

As of my last call to Apple, late last year, none of their
equipment/software supported jumbo frames.  

Actually at that time the Xserve had just gotten support via a
software change, but no desktop or laptop units could do jumbos. 
I put in a feature request but i don't think that was going to
help much :|
