[Click] Re: Help needed in compiling e1000 driver in Linux kernel 2.4.26

[Alastair McKinley]

Hi,

I am no expert on how the click patches work but i had the same problem with 
the broadcom 4400 driver.
The patches change the prototype of netif_receive_skb() and it must be 
called with 3 arguments.

Change the line:

netif_receive_skb(skb);

to:

netif_receive_skb(skb, skb->protocol, 0);

And I think that should fix it!
Would anyone have the time to explain what this change does?
On a side note, is there any documentation on the click patches anywhere?

Best Regards,

Alastair
