I have a 3COM relabeled DEFPA and it has problems joining the ring.
I suspect too old / buggy firmware.

How did you get this number? NFS / SMB throughput? What machines? 
I got 6.5 MB/s via NFS between a SGI Indigo2, 150 MHz R4400, IRIX 6.5 
and a DEC PWS 500au, 500 MHz 21164A, Tru64 5.1 with a DEFPA. Raw TCP 
throughput was about 10MB/s. NetBSD on an other 500 MHz 21164A machine
to the PWS was a bit slower. Can't remember exactly, I think it was a 
bit less than 5 MB/s via NFS.
