    You mean change the protocol field of the IP header, or maybe invalidate
    the checksum or somesuch? Already thought of that, but in the 2.2.x series
    of kernels, it CLONES the skb first before passing to my packet handling
    function. It won't matter if I change the contents of the cloned copy,
    since the original will still be sent to ip_rcv.

    I took a quick look at the 2.3.99-pre5 sources and it looks like it is no
    longer cloned. But I want this to work on stable kernels, of course.
