Should I be using this saved copy, of 'ifp' or should I some how be creating or getting this 'ifp' new/from scratch when creating my 'new' mbuf? Well, the "ifp" is "struct ifp *", not "struct ifp", so you aren't "creating" it, just copying it. Another way to ask the question if one is creating a new mbuf, via m_devget, where would one get the 'ifp' to put into m_devget? You get it from the mbuf you are "cloning"; just pass its value to m_devget(). Regards, Justin -- Justin C.

So you are saying there is NO way to create a struct mbuf* from scratch, meaning using your own data, i.e. "abcdefghi..", and send it out from the kernel/driver? Huh? Read what I wrote, again. I think there is some confusion on one of our parts. Your 'original question' was about 'ifp', not 'mbuf'. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
