Description Jim Faulkner 2006-02-17 20:28:01 UTC

tftp-hpa version 0.42 is out, and according to freshmeat:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/tftp-hpa/?branch_id=14040&release_id=220093
"This release tries to disable path MTU discovery for TFTP connections."

So I would potentially not have to use "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc" to be able to netboot my SGI box as specified here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-mips.xml?part=1&chap=2

The "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc" setting has caused problems for my NATed machines.

Anyway, an updated ebuild would be great.
