yes, that is missing but it needs to be a little more complicated than
that i think.  you need to examine the first byte to see if its an
ipv4 or ipv6 datagram.  something like:

			struct iphdr *iph = skb_network_header(skb);

                        skb_reset_network_header(skb);
			iph = skb_network_header(skb);
			if (iph->version == 4)
				skb->protocol = __constant_htons(ETH_P_IP);
			else if (iph->version == 6)
				skb->protocol = __constant_htons(ETH_P_IPV6);
			else
				/* drop the packet */
                        skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;

how does that look?

yeah, another oversight.  your fix is correct. i bet you have guessed
that we dont use vc multiplexing.
