When you sent this previously I asked what happened with the signoff
from Gabor.  A little Google tells me that he did in fact sign off the
copy that's in OpenWRT.  Please don't drop signoffs, they're important
for tracking licensing - see SubmittingPatches for details.  If the
modifications you made really are slight as you say then I'd also expect
Gabor's authorship to be preserved.
