I am coping the sizeof the structure. Now only because I was looking at the TCPlogger example, which passed a rather large structure 'struct TCPLogEntry', in which it had sub structures and in turn had buffers with log data, that I thought the mbuf code took care of the structure and everything in it. But the total data, would be the sizeof the struct plus the sizeof buf1. I guess I am not clear on how to get buf1 up to userland using ctl_enqueuembuf. Do I need to make two calls to ctl_enqueuembuf, with the struct then the buf1? Of is there a way to get both buffers into my mbuf? Then if I have to make two calls to ctl_enqueuembuf, in the kernel side, I am not certain how 'catch' it in user land?

process from my NKE. My problem lies in that I am passing a structure that has some pointers to buffers within this structure and these buffers are always showing empty/zeros when I receive them on the userland side. I am using the example from TCPlogger, in how TCPlogger

is passing a structure up to it's user land, but for some reason for me it is not working.

Here's a hint: how much data are you copying up to user space, and what is in that data? Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
