Tried that. Makes no difference to scatter of return time on
the client. Do not know if that means that interrupt coalescence is
still on, or that it makes not difference. The problem appears to be in
the receipt of the packets, not the transmission (although I guess it
could still coalesce interrupts on receipt as well. )
