[OpenAFS] Connection timed out?

  Same problem here. Every filetransfer seems to time out after a
  certain amount of time or bytes.

I would suspect mtu.  There were certainly bugs in the interface mtu code in
rx_kcommon.c.  In some cases rxi_FindIfMTU() would just return the first
interface, which on many systems is the loopback and has an mtu of 32K.  I
think I fixed this but only time will tell.

To test this theory, hotwire rx_kcommon.c:rxi_InitPeerParams() so it always
sets pp->ifMTU = RX_PP_PACKET_SIZE.  Do this only as a test.  If it works,
your connections won't time out but they won't go very fast either.
