we can't get repeatable throughput measurements on our 164lx-based alphas 
using SMC Etherpower 100 or Kingston cards. It ranges from 2-30 
mbits/second, with long delays that look like missed interrupts. rdisting 
a 200K file to 16 nodes takes 20 minutes. anyone seen anything like this? 
I do know that Linux (believe it or not) has the exact same problem on 
the exact same hardware ... not that i'm going to run that anyways on 
this cluster. 

thanks
