According to Dell tech support NO current Dell laptops support jumbo frames. I was also trying to determine if the TCP/UDP checksumming offload was enabled: the NIC configuration does not have an option for this feature. Bcom tech support agrees that the BCM5751 does have checksum offload but that Dell's implementation has it permanently enabled. Dell wanted $50 to verify that statement. All in all, the Dell/Bcom experience was dissapointing, especially that Dell would save 50 cents by using a non-jumbo frame GbE controller. Every Intel GbE NIC that I've run across has jumbo frame support... The new Dell 2716 and 2724 switches upport jumbo frmaes AND have a management agent. The 2716 is a good deal if you can get it for $100 off it's regular $269 price. I went thru this exercise for a business/technical reason.
