Does the new iMac support Jumbo frames?

Cool, so the answer is 'probably'.I'd be interested to know if anyone who has one can verify.
At least mine doesn't:
Code:
imac:~ MPE$ sudo ifconfig en0 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argumentYes, the 27" does.
Weird. My 27" 3.1GHz iMac that was delivered yesterday supports jumbo frames fine. I was quite concerned that it wouldn't because I rely on them for good performance with my NAS
I set it using System Preferences -> Ethernet -> Advanced -> Ethernet -> Configure Manually.
I've confirmed the setting by checking the output of ifconfig. It shows an mtu value of 9000.
