I think several people are trying to say the same thing off this
point but not saying it the same way, so:
* Hacking TCP (or pretty much anything else) is the _wrong_ solution
to this problem. The solution is to "fix" USB ethernet and/or not
use it.
* Since this is a fairly well defined, easy to reproduce packet loss
situation that TCP seems to not handle particularly well, it might
be worth using it to investigate if there is a generic TCP improvment
that could be made.
Fair enough?
