There are several places in skbuff.c that also needed changing that clone skb's, or recreate them, etc. You can diff skbuff.[ch] between 2.4.21 and 2.4.22-rc1 to see what we did. It works. Also see 8021q VLAN module for proper way to fill private data into skb->cb. It is using some sort of TLV to make sure the data is valid and can be accessed. -- | Shmulik Hen Advanced Network Services | | Israel Design Center, Jerusalem | | LAN Access Division, Platform Networking | | Intel Communications Group, Intel corp. | - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
