Subject: Stalling scp transfers with my BCM431

Actually, since you mention it, yes :). My nfs transfers to my server
also stall, with the syslog message "nfs: server 10.0.0.1 not
responding, still trying" (... but mounting the nfs folder with the
"hard" option helps, since it retries in the background, I think.)
And I remember wget transfers from my server's http often used to fail
on large file transfers.
