..causing all sorts of havoc when you try to enslave an encrypted ethernet tunnel device (CIPE) to a bridge. Attached patch should fix it. + skb->protocol = 0; Why "0"? That is about as good as initializing it random garbage. It just means now instead of going through ptype[random_value] in net/core/dev.c receive packet processing, it will go through ptype[0]. Please explain how this change "fixes" somthing. If skb->protocol doesn't matter, you should be able to leave it alone. If it _DOES_ matter, you should initialize it to a proper value not "0".
