I am running my nic at gig speeds only... I recompiled the kernel
this morning to include cpufreq as well as made sure the cool&quiet
was enabled in the BIOS.

So far I have done 150 loops with an 80MB file and no issues and 200
loopswith a 160MB file. My nfe nic does not support MSI and has its
own interrupt

With the "sleep" in my test script, powerd does seem to be fiddling
with frequencies as well during the inactivity.
