No doubt, as not knowing about this, my code used
to read the src/dest IPs from skb->nh in the
eth->rx_hook and get the kernel into panic. I finally
solved the problem by taking the iphdr from the
skb->data. Keep in mind that I am talking about 2.4.
BTW, should'nt we initialize the non-itialized
poiters to NULL? hmm.. but maybe it's a bad suggestion
in the context of the kernel alteast.
