Bug#337089: linux-image-2.6.14-1-powerpc: add CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y

[Benoît Dejean <benoit@placenet.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.14-1-powerpc
Version: 2.6.14-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
Linux < 2.6.14 used to have every TCP congestion algorithms as builtins but
NewReno + BIC was default.

Linux 2.6.14 has splitted these features into modules. But default remains
NewReno + BIC accordint to CONFIG_TCP_CONG_ADVANCED help message :

"Nearly all users can safely say no here, and a safe default selection will
be made (BIC-TCP with new Reno as a fallback)."

And indeed NewReno+BIC is a good and safe default. Much better than NewReno

But Debian .config has CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=m (CONFIG_TCP_CONG_*=m) which
makes NewReno default. So this is like a "regression". I'd like debian kernel
to have CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y provided that one can easily switch to another
algorithm (using /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control).

Thanks.
