Hi Howard,
Thanks for the patch. I have to do some heavy maintenance on the package
and once that's ready I'll include your patch.
It's been quite a while and this patch is being discussed again on the
Linux-kernel mailing list. Fyi, it still applies cleanly to current
netkit source. Please merge it, thanks.
Regards,
Alberto
