| Somehwere in init.d there is a network setup shell-script. Modify that so that it sets the correct MTU. [It may call some other script which may be what you want to modify - but the principle is that the network start is done via a shell-script somewhere init.d]. -- Mats

| And that init.d script will be configurable using some configuration file. For example: - Gentoo's /etc/init.d/net.* scripts are configured by /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/wireless. - ArchLinux's /etc/rc.d/network script is configured by /etc/rc.conf.

| Files in /proc are not real files. Those are interfaces to the OS to supply information out of the OS without adding new API functions - instead, the OS pretends to have files in the /proc tree which provides text information to the applications that want it. -- Mats

| Yes, like Mats says, don't edit the files in /proc, rather, /etc is where your configuration files are. |
