    Description : OpenVPN data channel offload (ovpn)

    This DKMS module will provide a backport of the OpenVPN 2.7+ data channel offloading module that has been merged in Linux mainline 6.14+. I intend
    to upload this to experimental and later to Forky as soon as it opens
    up for development, together with OpenVPN 2.7 releases.

    The main use would be to backport both to Trixie and Bookworm to get them proper in-the-field test coverage.

    This package is basically the successor of openvpn-dco-dkms, the old out-of-tree DCO module only supported with OpenVPN 2.6. They can both
    be coinstalled, OpenVPN will use the correct module.

    I expect to be able to drop both for the Forky release.
