Once you put something in front of skb->data, it's fair game for other things to write over that buffer area with a pushed packet header of their own. The only legal way to fix this is to completely copy the packet, headers and all, at the input site. - 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
