This patch set contains experimental network protocols and drivers.

Changes since last installment:
+ bugfixes accepted are in linus.net
* TCP Vegas not a config option
+ more WAN driver cleanup
+ High Speed TCP patch 
+ New e100 driver (from Scott Feldman)
+ ISA TokenRing probing changes
+ VLAN using hlist and RCU

TCP includes two alternative congestion mechanism. Both are compiled
in, but not enabled.
    Vegas                       => /proc/sys/net/tcp_vegas_cong_avoid
       got this from David Miller, but more info at
          http://flophouse.com/~neal/uw/linux-vegas/

    Sally Floyd High Speed TCP  => /proc/sys/net/tcp_altAIMD
       see http://www.hep.ucl.ac.uk/~ytl/tcpip/hstcp/index.html

Auto tuning receive and send buffers is enabled by default
     via /proc/sys/net/tcp_rcvbuf_mode from John Heffner

There is also a new algorithm for sharing memory among lots of connections
also from John.
