Patchs for pg3.c and Linux 2.6.x kernel

Hello,

This is my first contact and mail with this mailing list, to summarize i'm a coder maintening a personnal home server using several GNU tools since the late 90's.

I build IPUTILS-s20101006 in a chroot jail (gcc 4.5.2/libc 2.13/binutils 2.21/make 3.82) with an athlon architecture on ext3 FS. I see the packet's injection module in the Module directory and try a "make modules" which indeed fails. I put an eye on the pg3.c and it seems it has not been ported to
the 2.6.x modules architecture (i'm not a kernel hacker, so it's just my humble opinion).

I make some trivial adaptations to make the code meets the 2.6 module's API requirements. The patched code compile successfully on the platform described above, but i can't now test it's proper functioning, if anyone could give a try (please consider it could (will ?) be harmful for the test
platform as i am not familiar with kernel modules hacking...) :
