It's interesting to note that the broadcom chips support jumbo frames up to
9K.  I wonder why the HP, dell, netgear, etc.  switches don't seem to support
jumbo frames?  Maybe they do support them?  I think I saw one person with a
definitve no jumbo for the netgear GS524, but everything else appears to just
be guessing.
