Has anyone observed network related problems with the SS1.  From the
limited number of machines I have dealt with I have seem Ethernet problems
on perhaps half of them.  Problems range from abnormally high netstat
error counts (These are absolutely clean and within spec Ethernets.  We
have the equipment to prove it.)  to machines that have tremendous
difficulty booting diskless.
