heh. remember that when sending received packets up the stack, the
whole thing is run as a bottom-half handler (aka software interrupt
handler, etc). be careful your printk's don't block at all ;)

(i got bitten by this when doing the same thing with a freebsd
stack. took me way too long to realise why all the structures kept
changing after the printk statement ;)
