I will play with this a bit later today. That might work, but sounds a little dirty... But there's probably no way around.

Notably it now gets the offset right, and handles fragments and fraglist as well. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
