ok, thanks, that really helped a lot. I tried 2.6.32 (debian testing)
and 2.6.34 (linux-next) kernels, both performed slow. Using the debian
stable 2.6.26 howether, I get 8 MB/Sek unencrypted and 4 MB/Sek
encrypted (no crypto acceleration).

Using wget (http) on any of these kernels, I get 11 MB/Sek, so the
network is clearly capabale (all nodes are in the same Layer-2 network).
