OK. I've written some code based on Trevor Hamm's suggestions, but it segfaults. Here's what I have: ----- BEGIN CODE ----- struct in_device *in_dev; struct in_ifaddr **ifap = NULL; struct in_ifaddr *ifa = NULL; struct net_device *dev; struct in_addr in; unsigned long pci_ip_dword; char iname[4]; strcpy(iname, "eth0"); if ( (dev = dev_get_by_name(iname)) == NULL ) { printk(" |--> Couldn't find a network interface.\n"); printk(" You need at least one interface (eth0) for this netfilter hook to work.\n"); return 0; } printk("Looking for 'eth0' . . .\n"); if ( (in_dev = in_dev_get(dev)) != NULL ) { if (ifa == NULL) { for (ifap=&in_dev->ifa_list; (ifa=*ifap) != NULL; ifap=&ifa->ifa_next) if (strcmp(iname, ifa->ifa_label) == 0) break; } } printk("making dword . . .\n"); in.s_addr = ifa->ifa_local; pci_ip_dword = (unsigned long)in.s_addr; pci_ip_dword = (pci_ip_dword << 15); pci_ip_dword = (pci_ip_dword & 0x7F800000); printk("My IP address dword is: %lx\n", (unsigned long)pci_ip_dword); ----- END CODE ----- When I modprobe my netfilter target, dmesg has this in it: ----- BEGIN DMESG DUMP ----- Looking for 'eth0' . . . making dword . . .
