Have you chosen to use 'Explicit Congestion Notification' when you
compiled the kernel?  If so, many firewalls and routers drop packages
with this set.  It bit me, and I couldn't find out what it was - look
at whether /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn contains a 0 (which works here),
or a 1 (which causes some problems).
