+Subject: stable_kernel_rules: Add pointer to netdev-FAQ for network patches
+
+From: Dave Chiluk <chiluk@canonical.com>
+
+commit b76fc285337b6b256e9ba20a40cfd043f70c27af upstream.
+
+Stable_kernel_rules should point submitters of network stable patches to the
+netdev_FAQ.txt as requests for stable network patches should go to netdev
+first.
