The maximum MTU value of 10000 is too low for USB Ethernet, which has a maximum (for Linux USB gadgets) of 15412 bytes (although the upper limit is the USB wMaxPacketSize which goes up to 4294967295 bytes): linux/drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_ether.c:#define GETHER_MAX_MTU_SIZE 15412 Multiple Intel NICs can use an MTU of 16110 bytes: linux/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000_hw.h:#define MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE 0x3F00 linux/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/defines.h:#define MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE 0x3F00 linux/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igbvf/defines.h:#define MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_SIZE 0x3F00 The NetworkManager limit is 4294967295 bytes but this is unreasonable in a typical enivornment because of the memory required for packets of that size. The maximum IPv4 and IPv6 (without using Jumbograms) packet size is 65535 bytes so increase the maximum MTU value to 65536 allow full size IP packets to be used. There is a corresponding change in network-manager-applet. |

for the coding style guidelines.
Reporting Bugs
Before reporting any bugs or opening feature requests, read the communication guidelines.
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system under the product gnome-control-center. It is available at GitLab Issues.
In the report please include the following information:
- Operating system and version
- For Linux, version of the C library
- Exact error message
- Steps to reproduce the bug
- If the bug is a visual defect, attach a screenshot
- If the bug is a crash, attach a backtrace if possible [see below]
How to get a backtrace
If the crash is reproducible, follow the steps to obtain a backtrace:
Install debug symbols for gnome-control-center.
Run the program in gdb [the GNU debugger] or any other debugger.
gdb gnome-control-center
Start the program.
(gdb) run
Reproduce the crash and when the program exits to (gdb) prompt, get the backtrace.
(gdb) bt full
Once you have the backtrace, copy and paste it into the 'Comments' field or attach it as a file to the bug report.
Testing Unstable Settings
It is quite easy to test and give feedback about the development version of GNOME Settings. Just access https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/environments, get the latest version, download it, double-click the file, install and run.
Note that GNOME Settings Flatpak will only work if you are running the latest GNOME version in your host system.
