TokenRing : the story continues...

	I posted some times ago about token ring support in 1.3.X kernels...

	Recently, I found a bug in the token ring driver : some incoherence 
in buffer addressing (in the past, data was following the skb 
structure, and the new version uses a pointer to this data part : some 
functions in the drivers were assuming the first method). Now I have a 
version that can ping and arp any machine : all low level (ICMP, ...) 
services are OK. My problem is that as soon as my machine receive/send 
(??) TCP packets (at least, coz I found no way for trying UDP transfert 
directly), I get a kernel panic : 

    Kernel panic : skput:over:00db7a04:4
or  Kernel panic : skput:over:00f53a04:4 
(in fact the address changes every time...)

	Can someone give me a path I could follow to track down this problem ?
	Thanks for your answers.
