I'll test it once I figure out > how to do this "defrag" option you speak of :) Hmm now I'm venturing into the unknown (for me) and realm of speculation... wpa_supplicant opens a packet socket for ETH_P_EAPOL, which indirectly eventually calls dev_add_pack(). But if you do the same for another socket, you'll get the same again, and then deliver_skb() will deliver only a refcounted packet to the prot_hook->func(). This seems like it could very well cause the problem? johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
