Exclamation Is there anyone here using ndiswrapper for their wireless?
Are there any ndiswrapper users who would be willing to check something for me? I'm trying to figure out whether changing the MTU (maximum transmission unit for a tcp packet) is even supported with ndiswrapper. I don't seem to be able to change it for my wireless card, a TEW-423PI, but I don't know if it's a limitation of my card/driver combo or whether ndiswrapper is the culprit; I haven't been able to find it in the documentation, but maybe I missed it.

If there is someone willing to check their card, in case you aren't familiar, just do a "ifconfig" to find what the MTU is first (for most people using a DSL type connection it will be 1500). Then try changing it with something like "sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1400" (where wlan0 is your wireless interface, might also be eth1 or something like that depending on your setup). Then do ifconfig again and see if the change stuck.

Anybody have any success doing this?
