I spent a lot of time trying to fix intermittent TFTP timeouts while downloading the linux kernel. It turned out that the network I was on had a huge number of Bonjour ("Rendezvous Browser") clients which kept spamming the network with packets. Although this didn't cause congestion, my board still had to handle each and every Ethernet packet, which made it miss out on a few of the TFTP packets.

The solution was to connect the board to my computer directly. I installed another Ethernet card, and used a cross-over cable to make a mini-network of only my computer and the board.
