What was the purpose of the patch, do you know?

It does, my wired TV and my wireless client work without a single change of
config!

However I got hit by the DNS / polipo bug with things like:
Jan 17 18:41:43 OpenWrt user.err polipo[2765]: Host
mail.soltysiak.comlookup failed: Timeout (131072).
Jan 17 18:41:43 OpenWrt user.info sysinit: Host mail.soltysiak.com lookup
failed: Timeout (131072).
Jan 17 18:41:44 OpenWrt user.err polipo[2765]: Host
notify5.dropbox.comlookup failed: Timeout (131072).
Jan 17 18:41:44 OpenWrt user.info sysinit: Host notify5.dropbox.com lookup
failed: Timeout (131072).
Jan 17 18:43:27 OpenWrt user.err polipo[2765]: Host
notify5.dropbox.comlookup failed: Timeout (131072).
Jan 17 18:43:27 OpenWrt user.info sysinit: Host notify5.dropbox.com lookup
failed: Timeout (131072).
Funny is that I didn't see them with 3.7.1-1.

uftp and uftpd don't seem to be in cero repository.
downloads.openwrt.org/snapshot/trunk/... has version 3.6.1, the latest
version is 3.7.1; the best thing would be to update upstream openwrt.

To be super weird, I used a 3.7.1 win32 client and 3.6.1 openwrt
daemon. speed I got wasn't very high, example:
