["K.Anantha Kiran" <ananth@cse.iitk.ac.in>]

 
 
 Anyway we have written a module,
   If you know any idea about our problem,(dropping packets due to 
 NET_XMIT_DROP return value of dev_queue_xmit()) can u help us.Atleast 
 suggest a source where we can get answer for my problem.
   We want to know the situation(or)Reason when NET_XMIT_DROP will be 
returned.
 
 Thanks,
 K.AnanthaKiran
