    Dear All:
    I noted that the hardware of network in my M6400 includes:
    1. Broadcom NetXtreme™ 57xx Gigabit Controller and
    2. Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN

    I am upgrading the whole network system in my home, and most of my PC and Wifi-AP support Jumbo frame. However, I didn't noted any set up choice of jumbo frame for NetXtreme 57xx.

    Anyone has any idea? please?

    Is there any particular reason why you're concerned?

    Do you routinely transfer many gigabytes of files over your network at a time?

    1. Curiosity. Because most of my other computers support the Gigabit network and jumbo frame.

    2. I use my M6400 to edit family multimedia, watch movie and play game. Most of the multimedia (pictures, films, movies) would be stored and backup in my NAS, so that the files can be retrieved (play on-line) by other computers in my home. I have 3 desktops and 3 laptops at home and I daily transfer several GB of data among them. I backup some important files every week and sometimes have to trasfer several hundred GB at that time.
