Re: reopening ECN bugreport/netbase

| 		then echo sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn=0 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
| 	fi
| 
| to the kernel-image-2.4.x postinst.

This is not allowed.  /etc/sysctl.conf is a conffile and a package
must not modify other packages' conffiles.

And the reason why this breaks with Zyxel routers is that the routers
are broken.  Reassign the bugs against zyxel or something. ;)
