tcp window problem in 2.6.8.1

[Jaakko Niemi]

Hello,

Tcp window scaling behaviour was changed in 2.6.8, and this
causes problems with some sites. Details are in:

http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/

These changes seem to have been reverted, or at least reworked
in 2.6.9-rc. 

This is bound to become faq if we release sarge with 
2.6.8 packages as they are now. While the workaround
is rather simple, it might make sense to fetch the 
patch from 2.6.9-rc. 

Has anyone looked at this issue? I could not find anything
from list archives or from bts with quick search.

 ok, quick enough search to miss all relevan bits, namely:

 Sorry for the noise.
