From d8e42a2b0addf238be8b3b37dcd9795a5c1be459 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2023 10:01:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Don't increase MTU when set by user
If the user set an MTU value, it usually means that there are special requirements for the MTU. But if an interface gots activated, the MTU was always recalculated and then the user set value was overwritten.
The only reason why this user set value has to be overwritten, is when the MTU has to be decreased because batman-adv is not able to transfer packets with the user specified size.
