 i m not copying data to userspace buffers from a bottom half :-)
i copy them to some kernel space buffers and send them to userspace only when 
some application issues a read. 
it seems that i have got it all wrong where i copy the data.
i do a memcpy from skb->data to kernel space buffer of length skb->len.
after i do this is see some no data or the whole of ascii in ascending 
order.(from 1 -225).
will memcpy work for this kind copying...or is there some other means to do 
it?

BTW, im working on some protocol analyzer stuff and my boss hates linux. It 
is getting a hard task to convice him and convert him. he stands by solaris 
but i want him to bring our flagship product in linux. for any of u 
interested in it visit www.amoebatel.com 
so iam actually trying to create a test app that is able to capture packets 
in 10/100mbps full-duplex networks ;-) 

thanx,
Mohan S
