[REQ] Mur4ik - Edit MTU in Kernel | MTU Help?

---

Hey Again

Now that I'm back home again , Had time to reinstall Ubuntu, Yesterday tried to port WildfireS from X8, But it completely screwed up, It wouldn't boot and ADB and DDMS Logcat wouldn't pick it up (Drivers are FULLY installed) Even on Windows. Don't know why,

But I was wondering if I'm going to stick with SwiftDroid I'd need to fix my MTU settings ... Does anyone know how to change MTU? I've used the kitchen to extract the rom, and all I can find to do with it is the 'netcfg' file, But can't open it? Anyone know how to open the file or change the MTU manually? it needs to be 1440 for my network

What is a MTU lol

Maximum Transmittion Rate;

It's basically how many bites are transmitted each time data is used. Android is Defaulted to 1500 , which means it's sending 1500 bytes each time and my network is only capable of 1440 which causes the data to have to be resent in a loop, I can only see the effects on GPRS which, On the Ards Peninsula is far too common.. No 3 HSDPA here, Only Orange GPRS and the other networks' GPRS , Apart from Vodafone, If I put my phone to the window I can get 3 bars of Vodafone HSDPA Good thing i'm in my contract untill 14th August unless I want to keep it and get another phone *doubt it* Whenever the ZTE Skate is released on Orange or whatever, I'll be getting it

oh i think that mur4ik will be the one that can set the mtu to the way you want it because it is a kernel driver that deals with speed setting for both wifi and data so i would pm him with the request before he releases his next update.

I can do it through Terminal Emulator in 2.1 using

ifconfig mtu 1440

but the ifconfig file isn't present from 2.2+

Copy the file from a 2.1 rom to swiftdroid

Edit ifconfig is in swiftdroid.

Do all files not need to be linked though? I think netcfg replaced it which doesn't let me do anything with it either

Not everything in rom needs to be linked, some libs is not linked, for example.

I think this one is because It controls all the networks like rmnet0 and wifi0 etc
And it would be there if it's that important, but google changed it for netcfg which I can't open with anything (it has no extension) and I've tried gedit and nOtepad+ but nothing

It is a binary ... so you should use sh ifconfig or ./ifconfig, when you current dir at shell is /system/bin. Also you should change permission to 777
