Re: How to re-send out the packets captured by my hook function at NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING

["Real Oneone" <realoneone@gmail.com>]

Many thanks, David!

I've read what you mentioned and since I've done most of the work in
kernelspace, I wonder if there is any way to send out the modified
packet directly, when of course the mac address is not filled?

Thanks again!
