If you use a kernel 2.4, you won't see any fragments since netfilter 
assembles them before hitting NF_IP_PRE_PREROUTING. On the other hand, 
if your box runs a kernel 2.6,  assemble them by yourself. Have a look 
at skb_linearize. Previously check that it's non linear with 
skb_is_non_linear.

Since you get packets from interrupt context, make sure you pass the 
GFP_ATOMIC flag to skb_linearize.
