Shell copy_file() issue with NFS and small MAC receive buffer

[Kirspel, Kevin]

Yes I would.  With a small receive buffer, packets would get dropped but would eventually recover because of the TCP/IP protocol.  What would never recover is having a fragmented packet stream that is close to the size of the receive buffer.

I would look into this more. This should work and I suspect something in 
the driver.

If you do a 4K ping while an NFS transfer is operating you will see a 
problem.
