Workarounds:

net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf
Fix:
Recompile kernel without ECN support
P.S. arjanv Please Fix!
I'd argue that the /etc/sysctl.conf line is the real "fix", insofar as disabling ECN at all can be considered a "fix" and not a "workaround". Then people have the option of editing /etc/sysctl.conf to re-enable ECN, without having to recompile the kernel.
(Mandrake has been doing this since one of their 8.x releases, BTW.)
