In /etc/sysconfig, change:

# Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644
# TCP options. If TCP connections randomly hang, try disabling this,
# and bug the vendor of the losing equipment.

tcp_extensions=YES
to:
tcp_extensions=NO
And bug Digiboard to fix their stacks (if this fixes the problem).
