By the way, is the "m->m_data += 2;" still a neccesary evil to
apease NFS? I have always seen it in drivers but I never understood
why it was there or if I really needed to follow it.
from if_ed.c: 2727-2732
/*
* The +2 is to longword align the start of the real packet.
* This is important for NFS.
*/
m->m_data += 2;
eh = mtod(m, struct ether_header *);
