Sorry, I've been flat out lately so I missed your patch.

After a quick a look I have to say that I don't think this is
right.  BEET is supposed to wrap around all extension headers
so we shouldn't call hdr_offset.  In fact the packet could be
IPv4 for all we know.

So why don't you show us the crash that you're experiencing?

Thanks,
