You may have compiled this, but it's obvious you haven't tested it. Please stop sending patches until you can verify what you're doing with the code. Please train a few more of your neurons for coding. It takes some time and some practice but please don't practice on linux-kernel. Use google to find some other suitable forums like http://cboard.cprogramming.com/c-programming/ Back to your patch: if (!skb) return false; must go _after_ skb = dev_alloc_skb(frag_length + 4); _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
