The Rhine-II is now finally usable with via-rhine. Time to call it 1.17. -- Please apply. FWIW I think the four patches (including this one) leading up to 1.17 are 2.4 material, too. The drivers were identical at 1.16, and some kind souls successfully tested 1.17 on 2.4. Given the low frequency of 2.4 releases and the brokenness of the driver until now, it would seem like a good idea to have it in 2.4.21.
