I tried updating today to the new code, it seemed to make it worse and 
never get decent ping times.  With the code from before, it's dependent 
on boot, either it will work fine on boot or fail.

But it has to be related to the "handled npkts 0" message.  When I'm 
getting no messages, it's perfect.  The number and speed of the messages 
is the inverse of the network quality.  When it's an intermittent loss, 
it degrades a couple seconds before the messages start.
