[Beowulf] tcp error: Need ideas!

[Gerry Creager]

Couple of follow-up notes.

MTU=4500:  Had one node fall over with the same overflow errors.
MTU=3000:  A WRF model is running, but single timesteps are executing 
2.5x slower than MTU=1500

I'll go snag the new driver and compile it.  After all: What can it hurt!

Thanks, Guy!

Regards, Gerry
