I am totally stuck and not able to proceed. I am invariably getting kernel panic from __skb_dequeue inline function called from alloc_skb. In detail I posted following mail, but unfortunately it could not attract anyones attention. Sub : alloc_skb panic oops / virtual network interface URL: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0303.2/0437.html Hope to get some response and much need guidance from linux gurus. thanks in advance, regards - nalin
