Subject[BUG] 2.6.* pktgen doesn't set ethnet header properly
Hi,

I tried to use pktgen module from 2.6.* kernels and found out that I
couldn't receive any packets generated by pktgen. I did not even see a
"packet dropped by kernel" message. It turned out that function
setup_inject in net/core/pktgen.c doesn't setup the ethernet header field
correctly. Below is a patch that fixes the problem.
