apparently since kernel 2.6.17 linux auto-tunes, so this advice is a bit
out of date... in fact it might be really bad advice because usign
setsockopt and setting RCVBUF and SNDBUF will actually disable autotuning.

the information is also out of date WRT hardware, you're better off
using PCIX or PCIe cards.

he also omits the fact that setting the MTU over 1500 is not possible on
many motherboards with integrated NICs - many intels seem to be guilty
of this.
