I'm GREATLY simplied my _xmit routine for my loadable virtual netdevice.
It's a simple:
{
ip_forward(skb,dev,NOTTLDEC,dev->pa_dstaddr);
dev_kfree_skb(skb,FREE_WRITE);
return 0;
}
Or thereabouts. No error checking or anything. I just want it not to OOPS
when I ping a device.
Well, at this point I think I'm beginning to realize that I must make
changes the the skb sk_buff that my _xmit function is passed.
Is this correct? Do I need to make mods to skb? If not, then why won't the
above work?
I'm using the POINTOPOINT element to hold an address (almost like a
gateway), can I do this? Or does the kernel react to dev->pa_dstaddr in an
internal way that I'm missing?
Help!
