We had lots of problems with our two 2948G-L3 boxes until we stopped
using them as L2 devices, and simply ran them as hardware speed routers.

Thus our recommendation for these boxes is to remove anything L2, ie.
bridging, IRB and similar stuff.

As pure L3 devices they have actually performed quite well - be we're
now in the process of replacing them with 3550s.
