    thank you for your response..but i wonder whether intel 82557
NIC and intel Bussiness 10/100 switch support large frames ? i have
visited the www.intel.com and www.scyld.com, but there are no articles
saying about it.
    btw, i can't find the length checking codes after calling dev_queue_xmit.
Can you show me that?
