Never mind, it seems my patch was saved incorrectly. Anyway, after
applying this patch my network-traffic is as fast as it ever was.

There's no difference in dmesg-output, but I reach 450-460 KiB/s again.

If there's anything else I can test, please let me know - I gather the
update did work for other people, so if testers are wanted I'm
available.

Kind regards,
Jurriaan
