Since this was just seen, and the patch below validated as working I wanted
to send general email to capture this:
The Lenovo X60 can have issues with long ping times, this is a KNOWN
hardware problem, and Intel is working with IBM/Lenovo, a final 'fix' has
not been decided on yet. Nevertheless, the patch below will work, but
I do not want to check it in as its still temporary.
Address questions to me,
Jack
PS This is based on 6.2, but is needed for CURRENT as well.
