Description Jon Nelson 2014-11-07 04:35:36 UTC
wicked in 13.2 apparently sets the MTU using information obtained from dhcp.
Previously, this could be overwritten by setting an explicit MTU in the config file. Despite the setting still being present, this does not appear to work any longer.

My ISP sends me an MTU of 576 (which is wrong in this case, it should be - and has been properly tested to - 1500). I need to be able to override it, otherwise google video chat doesn't work properly (don't ask me why, I have no idea).
Comment 1 Jon Nelson 2014-12-25 19:36:00 UTC
I can override this with network manager (and I do, as I've had to switch to that from wicked) and I used to be able to before wicked with the if-up stuff.
