Yes, I finally picked my mirabox out of my bag for a quick test. It boots
off 3.10.0-rc7 and I totally saturate one port (stable 988 Mbps) with even
a single TCP stream.

With two systems, one directly connected (dockstar) and the other one via
a switch, I get 2*650 Mbps (a single TCP stream is enough on each).

I'll have to re-run some tests using a more up to date kernel, but that
will probably not be today though.

Regards,
Willy
