Of course 2.4.0 runs on m68k as well :-) Sorry, no real changes since last release, but I wanted to get something out of the door as soon as possible. Today is my last holiday, so my Linux development efforts will be much smaller next week. Someone to take over again? The patch is quite short.

You have to take a look at ENC: Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) allows routers to notify clients about network congestion, resulting in fewer dropped packets and increased network performance. This option adds ECN support to the Linux kernel, as well as a sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
