The problem is not with firewall/gateway, as these machines are on the same subnet and even on these machines, the firewalls are disabled.
Pinging normal interfaces will not work as this interface changes the type of the packet in the ethernet headers (so, the other interface cant identify this packet).
i make a *dev_queue_xmit(skb);* call on the physical interface. Ethereal too shows that the packet is going to the eht0 interface.
If firewall is set, will the packet be seen in the ethereal output?.
And the bigger question is "when the ping-request/syn goes through the interface and gets received at the other end, why does the ping-reply/syn-ack not go through the interface?"
