Hi all, I want to know that when i send a packet on loopback on 127.0.0.1 the packet is given to netif_rx without MAC header adding. I want to know Is that correct? If yes then what happen to that 14 byte MAC header bytes space in case Ping packet? Is that space free? Why eth_type_trans is called that checks eth->h_proto field ? Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks in advance, harsh. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
