Gigabit LAN

The PS3 has 1 Gigabit Ethernet port. The port accepts Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover), so no need for special crosscables when hooking up the PS3 direct to the PC.

From Linux perspective (under OtherOS <=3.15), the old drivers set up MTU to 2308, while newer version used MTU 1518. This could be a hypervisor restriction (needs research).
