There have been quite a few changes in lblnet-2.6_testing since 2.6.24-rc6-mm1 
so I would recommend taking the whole tree.  I'm also not quite sure if

Weird.  I did a 'git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/lblnet-2.6_testing'
into a new directory this morning, and doing a 'git log' against that only
showed the one added commit:

    SELinux: Add warning messages on network denial due to error
    
    Currently network traffic can be sliently dropped due to non-avc errors which
    can lead to much confusion when trying to debug the problem.  This patch adds
    warning messages so that when these events occur there is a user visible
    notification.

    SELinux: Add network ingress and egress control permission checks
(already in 24-rc6-mm1).

Somebody please tell me it's my git-idiocy..

simply reverting the "Convert the netif code to use ifindex values" patch 
would solve the problem as there are other patches in the rc6-mm1 tree that 
rely on skb->iif being valid (new code, not converted code).

That would explain why I'm still seeing issues..

 If you want to 
stick with a _relatively_ vanilla rc6-mm1 tree I would leave everything in 
and simply apply the following patch which solved the skb_clone()/iif 
problem:

OK, I'll go look at that..
