I was testing the patch using a 2.6.23-rc5 kernel after I noticed from 
reading the changelog that the rto_min change went in there.  It would 
be very nice if it were possible to be in the .23 version of iproute2, 
but I can easily see where things might be a bit late for that.

Meanwhile I'll let the customer know that a way (short of writing their 
own util I guess :) to set the rto_min will be in at least .24

thanks,

rick jones
