Please use a conversion function.

+
+               skb2 = skb_copy_expand(skb,
+                               INTELLON_HEADER_SIZE,
+                               need_tail,
+                               flags);
+               dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
+               if (!skb2)
+                       return skb2;

If you return NULL in an error case, write it so explicitely.

+       __skb_push(skb, INTELLON_HEADER_SIZE);
+
+       skb->data[0] = pack_len & 0xFF;
+       skb->data[1] = (pack_len & 0x700) >> 8;

Again, a conversion function is called for.
