It is not a struct actually. It is a bytestream that is reinterpreted as an integer, that is, for example (it does not really need to be skb_network_header), unsigned char *p = skb_network_header(skb); uint32_t value = *(uint32_t *)(p[9]); I suppose this won't work, so one would have to... uint32_t value = (p[0] << 24) | (p[1] << 16) | (p[2] << 8) | p[3]; Jan -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
