It is just a bare patch file, but feel free to add any explanatory text to make it a proper commit. I have no real understanding as to why this line of code does not cause any problems with later kernel versions, but it does here. In addition, I have not had any reports of problems with other users. That makes me suspect some kind of bad interaction with the user-space network control components in 12.04. Would it be helpful for Nicolas to prepare a bug report at Ubuntu?
