The fact that it states "skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload." seems irrelevant. If Neterion driver mandates that skb->head *only* contains the MAC/IP/UDP header, that should be handled in the driver itself. -- 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
