Subject: [RFC PATCH 4.4] Documentation/network: reword kernel version reference
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2019 08:19:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190215161955.12119.77812.stgit@mdr-mbp.hsd1.ca.comcast.net> (raw)

It seemed odd to say "since 4.17" in a 4.4 kernel. Consider
rewording the reference to indicate where in the stable series
it was introduced as well as where it originated.

Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad <mrustad@gmail.com>

Does this brief elaboration add useful information? It seems to
me that someone using a particular series of stable kernels would
find this information to be helpful or at least potentially less
confusing to a non-developer.
