Set the skb's network_header before it is passed to the underlying Ethernet device for transmission. This patch fixes the following issue: When we use this driver with AF_PACKET sockets, there would be error messages of: protocol 0805 is buggy, dev (Ethernet interface name) printed in the system "dmesg" log. This is because skbs passed down to the Ethernet device for transmission don't have their network_header properly set, and the dev_queue_xmit_nit function in net/core/dev.c complains about this. Reason of setting the network_header to this place (at the end of the Ethernet header, and at the beginning of the Ethernet payload): Because when this driver receives an skb from the Ethernet device, the network_header is also set at this place.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
