Exactly (skb->dev was changed to NULL ...). Do you think it makes sense to put printks in various places in __netif_receive_skb_core to see after which function call skb->dev turns into NULL?


OK please try this fix :

goto out;



That one fixes the oops, though I wonder if your previous patch is needed (I reverted it before testing the current). Unfortunately I don't have SIM card around to test GPRS connection with, will do it as soon as I find one and will report.

Thanks,
