hello,
I added new packet type with ETH_P_NEW in linux kernel and write packet
handler routine and then i check recevied IP packets source IP in
new_rcv() and found most of them are 0.0.0.0 on Redhat 9.
can anybody help me why this packet handler function is getting those
packets? Theres no tcpdump or ethereal i am running and also NIC is not
in promisc mode.
