Just hope the tcp window scaling changes in 2.6.17 don't bite you for
any of the sites you connect to. :)  The throughput on fast links is
apparently wastly improved, while it causes serious retransmit and
trhoughput loss when going through broken routers that don't follow the
tcp specification correctly.  There are a few of those around
apparently.
