So that's much more than 1MBit/s and the scp is limited by the CPU rather than the networking - I'm sure I could get more than 1.7 MB/s if I used something that didn't rely so much on CPU, e.g. ftp.
Running a stock 2.6.18 kernel and copying a large file from an NFS mount to /dev/null I got just under 60 Mb/s just now. That's with the file coming from a relatively slow NFS server and across a 100 Mbit network.

with 2.6.18-5, 2.6.22-3 and 2.6.23-1. Are you in a position to try 2.6.23?
As a side issue, are there any special things to be aware of in compiling your own kernels for the Thecus? So far I've used just stock Debian kernels and although I've done a couple of test compiles of my own to test the new RAM (takes about 6.5 hours to build a standard Debian kernel) I haven't dared install one in case I do it wrong and render the box un-bootable. Are there any special gotchas for the Thecus 2100?
