Hello all,
          While writing kernel module packet sniffer
at IP layer,i start with first accessing packets
length 
and its data part.so, to start i try to access packet
data first and copy it to other variable to dump
its contents but i am facing a problem while accessing
the packet's data. As i have studied i 
found that data in packet at any layer resides in
between data and tail pointers.  So if i
have to print it or copy it in any unsigned string
then how to do that?
          I tried with following example which
receives only loopback packet and print data part at 
IP layer. But it does not print also why am i getting
sb->len as 1 not actual size of packet at IP layer?
regards,
linux_lover
