Port-Dreamcast,

I'm extremely new to NetBSD and Unix in general, what is the "mbe driver"
and what is the "MTU?"

Thanks,
Michael

Due to the large packet transmit crashing wierdness (I think that's what it
is) in the mbe driver, I thought it would be a good idea to kick the MTU
down
a notch to see if I could artificially get around the problem.

The interface doesn't seem to support changing MTU size.  The ifconfig man
page states that most interfaces don't support MTU changes.  This seems a
bit
odd coming from the FreeBSD world.  Is MTU tweaking a portability issue?
