Question Output of ifconfig

Code:
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
hme1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.2.2 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
nf0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 155.84.4.17 netmask ffff8000 broadcast 135.84.127.255
nf0:1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 155.84.4.26 netmask ffff8000 broadcast 135.84.127.255


AFAIK, there is a config file to change the max MTU size for a device (i.e. NIC). I've seen it done in Linux and for the life of me, I can't remember how we used to handle larger packets in Solaris, as I've been away from Solaris 7 and antiquated infrastructure for over a decade now Smilie

IWI(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    IWI(4)

NAME
iwi -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver SYNOPSIS
iwi* at pci? dev ? function ? DESCRIPTION
The iwi driver provides support for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG MiniPCI network adapters. By default, the iwi driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode). This mode requires the use of an access point. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement. The full license text can be found in /libdata/firmware/if_iwi/LICENSE.ipw2200-fw. The license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable hw.iwi.accept_eula to 1. EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point): ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'': ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption: ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net nwkey 0x1234567890 Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption: ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 DIAGNOSTICS
iwi%d: device timeout The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen. SEE ALSO
