Network daemon

I have a Intel 10 GB network card which module is "e1000e".
When starting my system the network daemon does not work correctly and I have to correct this after loging in with the following command:
ifconfig eth0 mtu 576

After this I have to enter /etc/rc.d/network restart and /etc/rc.d/openntpd restart to get my network and openntpd working.

Is there a way to correct the network daemon or to make a new daemon so that I will not have to correct this situation manually after each boot?

Maybe this will help: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Jum … ration_.3D
Set MTU to 576 manually and disable the MTU hook.

Re: Network daemon

Can you post the output of your 'lspci -vvnn' related to your network card?

Re: Network daemon

So, the problem is solved. Thanks to Karol for the links.
The solution was quite simple, I just had to add a line in my /etc/rc.local:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 576
