To configure your network card use the ip link command:

bible:~ # ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth0

Here, you have told ip to edit the link (network device) and set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) to 9000 on device eth0.

To view data about your Ethernet device, you can use the show option for the link object.
