Set MTU value for any interface via AppleScript
Authored by: RickoKid on Sun, Jun 8 2008 at 11:04AM PDT

It seems in Leopard (as at 10.5.3 anyway) that you can change the MTU for Airport interfaces in the Advanced->Ethernet tab of System Preferences as well as Ethernet interfaces.

I've updated the script though to incorporate a way to test for your maxmum MTU, taken in part from this hint.

Get the updated script at my blog: http://www.torrfamily.org/tumbleseed/products/set-mtu/.
