[Click] dev_queue_xmit vs. hard_start_xmit

[Ricard Vilalta]

Hi all,
I am not a linux kernel guru and I would like your support. I have 
lately been working with Myricom NIC's (using linux kernel module 
myri10ge) and it was impossible to forward paquets from another ethernet 
interface to the myricom interface. This leaded to kernel panic. I have 
been trying several solutions and the only one which seems to be working 
is using dev_queue_xmit instead of hard_start_xmit on todevice. I am 
using patchless click with linux kernel 2.6.32-35.

I have fully tested the change and seems to work for me. What do you 
think of this change? May it lead to another type of errors or 
unexpected behaviors?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Ricard
