Nothing new, just working on an alternative implementation of IPcomp (RFC3173) 
for a university assignment,

I have to do it for the 2.4 series without patching existing kernel code. Im
looking at different entry points for the code, using the usual dev_add_pack()
with ETH_P_IP apparently was a good point for things like this pre 2.4 but now
it looks better to use the netfilter hooks to do this,
