Hi Insu,

thanks for bringing up this issue again.
I thought I did fix this a year ago, but seems it did not managed to
sent it upstream.

The patch do not fix this completly, since it will drop the original skb
from the L2 I frame queue, so the transmission would lost an I-FRAME,
which is not allowed by the protocol.

The format of the new lines is wrong, you need to use TAB.


Best regards
Karsten
