I've tried several different drivers and 3 different cards so we
can eliminate those possibilities.

Why does lo0 have mtu bigger than 1500 ?

lo0:    flags=0x4b<UP,BROADCAST,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 127.0.0.255
        metric 0 mtu 16384

Is 1500 a Mint limitation ? On a linux box I could ping packets
much bigger than 1500
