SUMMARY: Global change MTU of all interfaces

Hi agn,

no "real" answer so far - except of Chris Pinnock and some other who told me
not to change the MTU of the loopback if. Hm... Seems I have to do this on
my own, with a little scripting work.
Not so much to do, but I hoped there would be a global parameter (e.g. in
/kernel/drv or so) to change it globally.

Okay, thanks to all who respond,

have a nice hackin',

Harald
