While it essentially works as I want it to, I found that I am leaking memory this way. Having this module in a highly loaded network, "head -n5 /proc/meminfo" shows that MemFree is steadily falling, until the kernel OOPS with an out of memory condition.
I could not see anything wrong here either. Some things which came to my mind where: - Does this also happen, if you do not call PromiscuousMode_Enter? - Which user grows is /proc/slabinfo? (If this file is emply or does not exist, you may meed to recompile the kernel to use slab instead of sl[b-z]b) - Which kernel version are you using? Have you tried different versions? -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com
