Thanks a lot.
I am using igb-3.3.6  for hardware   - vendor=0x8086, device=0x10e6
only CONFIG_IGB_DISABLE_PACKET_SPLIT defined.


I will explain my question in detail.


int  i = 0 ;
rx_desc = IGB_RX_DESC(rx_ring, i);

if(!(igb_test_staterr(rx_desc, E1000_RXD_STAT_EOP) ) {
     printk ( "part of Jumbo frame ...Not the last junk ");
}


If mtu is 1500,  and jumbo frame size is 9200.   I get the printk  -
part of Jumbo frame ...Not the last junk .

But if i change mtu to 9216,  the condition ,
!(igb_test_staterr(rx_desc, E1000_RXD_STAT_EOP) , looks like
never satisfied .

Thanks,
