Sorry Kim, but I didn't take it because it was in 83xx code. These 
multi-jurisdictional patches are pretty common, and there doesn't seem 
to be a well-defined way of handling them. In this case, it's pretty 
clearly network code, but I'd like to at least have your 'acked-by' in 
the paper trail. Does this sound like the right way to do it, or am I 
making things too bureaucratic?

regards,
Ben
