8189fs driver setting MTU on Kernel 4.10.0

Hi All,

 

I seem to be encountering an issue with setting the MTU for the 8189fs driver on the 4.10.0-sun8i kernel

 

I am trying to set the MTU for wlan0 to 1532. Note this works on the 3.4.113-sun8i kernel without issue.

 

#uname -a

Linux orangepipcplus-02c0008115dff7be 4.10.0-sun8i #10 SMP Sun Feb 12 16:51:59 AEST 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
 
/etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0

        wireless-essid batnet6

        wireless-ap 02:13:13:13:13:13
        mtu 1532

# ifconfig wlan0

# ifup wlan0

SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument

indicates that the requested MTU was rejected by the kernel. Typically this would be due to it exceeding the maximum value supported by the interface hardware. In that case you must either reduce the MTU to a value that is supported or obtain more capable hardware.

 

 
If this was a hardware restriction It wouldn't work on the 3.4.113-sun8i kernel, so this leads me to think its the driver on the 4.10.0-sun8i kernel.
 
Is anyone here familiar with the code of this driver and able to confirm for me if this is a known issue?
 
Thanks,
 
Dave.
