Hi David !

I have been I a similar situation when I wrote if_cs.c. I had 
virtually no clue about SKBs and how to work with them. I've 
looked at lwn.net, LDD, googled around, and looked at the 
in-kernel documentation, which went into fine detail. But I 
failed to grasp the real picture, e.g. up until now I don't have 
any idea why there are so many different functions to modify 
skb's in subtle ways.

So one can say that I still have virtually no clue about SKBs. 
That if_cs.c works, might even be coincididence, thanks to 
try-and-error. :-)

I've not seen if_sdio.c yet, but if Pierre looked at my if_cs.c 
when surely he started from my incomplete view of things :-(
