Public bug reported: I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 running Ubuntu 10.10 (completely up-to- date with the repo's). Recently I tried enabling Jumbo Frames on the Intel 82577LM Gigabit ethernet controller which resides in this laptop. According to the Intel website, this device supports Jumbo Frames however I cannot enable it. I'm running AMD64 kernel package linux- image-2.6.35-25-generic.
