Any comments on this? I'd like to include this (well, more importantly the mac80211 patch that needs it) for testing for 2.6.27, should I send it via John or directly to you, Dave? Also, I'm not sure, should I allow for a segmentation function at all? I'm only going to use the generic skb_segment and the code there only uses skb_gso_segment. johannes
