The packet scheduler and classifier can redirect packets to different devices, and can the netfilter layer. The setting of skb->dev is wholly transient and you cannot rely upon it to be the same as when you set it on allocation. Even simple things like the bonding device change skb->dev on every receive. I think you need to study the networking stack a little more before you continue to play in this delicate area :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
