[ale] Slow connection on Cisco Switch

[Christopher Fowler]

I have a RH box attached to a Cisco Switch.  The connection seems to
work okay when using ssh and protocols that do not send a lot of data. 
The LED is green indicating 100m connection.  The problem is when I
scp.  When I scp it takes almost 3 minutes to transfer 10m. The LED on
the switch is blinking orange and green when this happens.  Can anyone
tell me what is going on?

Thanks,
Chris
