+ echo 'Patch #295 
(linux-2.6.16-e1000-try-to-fix-assertion_sk_forward_alloc_failed_by_Herbert_Xu.patch):'
Patch #295 
(linux-2.6.16-e1000-try-to-fix-assertion_sk_forward_alloc_failed_by_Herbert_Xu.patch):
+ patch -p1 -s
...... SKIP .....

P.S.
there is src.rpm of my kernel for RHEL4 and my RHEL4-clone:
ftp://builds.kernelpanic.ru/pub/linux/BBEL/updates/kernel_of_the_day/4/SRPMS/

and yum'able repo of 2.6.16 kernels _with_ Herbert's patch :), if 
anybody interested:
ftp://builds.kernelpanic.ru/pub/linux/BBEL/updates/kernel_of_the_day/4/
