repeated the tests with a normal ethernet card. I had to change the
test procedure, because of the 100Mbit ethernet sysinstall was masking
the results. So I did fetch ftp://  of the iso image, about 150MB.

the result is different:
	server 2001/12/13,  client 2001/12/12:	6   MBps
	server 2001/11/20,  client 2001/12/12:	5.8 MBps
	server 2001/11/20,  client 2001/07/17:	7.2 MBps

so here the differences are not that much.

The difference for USB/ethernet is caused by the changes in netinet/,
but not by changes in USB. The behaviour of a kernel with all changes
in only in netinet from 2001/11/20 on backed out, is the same as that
of a whole kernel of that date.
