Dave, it's not about openSUSE or not - if anything, it's about the
kernel and the driver.  Jumbo-sized frames are enabled in openSUSE
using ifconfig exactly as they are in any other Linux-system.

As for your frame size of 7422, read my previous reply or the driver
source code. It will _not_ support more than 7200.
