2.4.22: Sending data using raw IP. HELP!!

2.4.22: Sending data using raw IP. HELP!!

[Dmytro Bablinyuk]

I need to send a data out using raw IP.
For start I tried to send an ICMP response using the code below, but it 
gives me a error (kernel 2.4.22) and clears the skb buffer without 
sending it.
Please help me to send the data out of the kernel 2.4.22 - I have 
dstaddr, srcaddr and payload and I know it should go through eth0. I 
just need somehow push this data out.
The data comes from the user space application, shall I consider other 
options, like to send data from the user space. Can I do this using raw IP?
I am very much appreciate for any ideas on how to send data using raw IP.

Please help!!

Could you please send this message to the linux-net@vger.kernel.org mailing
list? That is the proper place for these kinds of questions.

Thanks,
