sk_buff doubt

Hello,

A doubt in sk_buff. I am running the fcc_enet driver provided in the PPC
architecture tree for MPC8260 on ADS board. Kernel version is 2.4.1. The
driver has been modified to be loaded as a module. When IFNET provides
the sk_buff to transmit, the driver stores them up in an array and at
transmit complete the driver releases the sk_buff.

When the module is unloaded, the driver releases all the sk_buffs. When
I release the sk_buff I get the following output. Am I doing anything
wrong here ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions or pointers could be very helpful.

Thank you.
