Not yet... one point to highlight before:

  - SPI controller clock rate is 24 MHz, unable to set ~40 MHz, 

Now testing in 2.6.34 rc7 using now TCP, nuttcp version 6.1.2:

Before the patch

  # /testsuites/ethernet/bin/nuttcp -i -Ri50m 10.87.231.229
      1.1460 MB /   1.00 sec =    9.6134 Mbps
      1.1858 MB /   1.00 sec =    9.9473 Mbps
      1.2258 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2828 Mbps
      1.1996 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.0628 Mbps
      1.2203 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2365 Mbps
      1.2258 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2828 Mbps
      1.2134 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.1786 Mbps
      1.2235 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2636 Mbps
      1.2134 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.1785 Mbps
      1.2120 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.1670 Mbps

     12.6250 MB /  10.46 sec =   10.1240 Mbps 2 %TX 0 %RX 0 retrans 7.91 msRTT

  # /testsuites/ethernet/bin/nuttcp 10.87.231.229
     12.9319 MB /  10.58 sec =   10.2553 Mbps 1 %TX 0 %RX 0 retrans 7.90 msRTT

After the patch

  # /testsuites/ethernet/bin/nuttcp -i -Ri50m 10.87.231.229
      1.1671 MB /   1.00 sec =    9.7902 Mbps
      1.2169 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2077 Mbps
      1.2175 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2134 Mbps
      1.2396 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.3986 Mbps
      1.2396 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.3987 Mbps
      1.2387 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.3910 Mbps
      1.2410 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.4102 Mbps
      1.2203 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.2365 Mbps
      1.2382 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.3871 Mbps
      1.2369 MB /   1.00 sec =   10.3755 Mbps

     12.8125 MB /  10.45 sec =   10.2820 Mbps 2 %TX 0 %RX 0 retrans 7.90 msRTT

  # /testsuites/ethernet/bin/nuttcp 10.87.231.229
     13.0808 MB /  10.64 sec =   10.3123 Mbps 1 %TX 0 %RX 0 retrans 7.90 msRTT
