New hub = joy

I replaced my old netgear with a brand new SMC gigabit hub that supports jumbo frames, updated the firmware, and explicitly turned on jumbo frames and flow control, and AFP now screams along at the same speeds CIFS was getting.

I rather like the readynas. I do wish it were a bit quieter, but overall, a very nice piece of gear.
