[ANNOUNCE] WOLK v4.16s FINAL - Server Edition

Hi all,

so, here we go, FINAL v4.16. This is the 16th maintenance update for
WOLK4.0.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I encourage _all_ 2.4-WOLK users to update to v4.16s! It fixes all known
security issues up to 11th September 2004 (today).
------------------------------------------------------------------------



Changelog from v4.15s -> v4.16s
-------------------------------
o   added:    Autonegotiation on|off|sense for sk98lin driver if
                 compiled statically into the kernel via config

                 disable this if you get annoyed by things like:
                 - hw tcp v4 csum failed
                 - TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer <foo> shrinks window <bar>.
                 - udp v4 hw csum failure
