PassThru supports Gigabit Jumbo frames fairly nicely AFAIK. You will simply
see packet total sizes that are larger than 1514 bytes. The maximum Jumbo
packet size is set on the Advanced tab of the adapter's Properties dailog in
the Network Control Pannel.

You can query for the maximum total size using OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE.
Tools like OIDScope can let you make the query fairly simply. See:

   http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/ndistools.htm

If the value that you are seeing from NdisQueryPacket is bigger that the
value returned by the OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE query or is larger than the
Jumbo frame size specified for the adapter, then there is some other
problem...

Good luck,
