Jeff, 
These seem to be the most likely culprits after reading the code. However there seems to be something else going wrong with the function call in the trace code. Jeff I do understand your busy with the upstream merging of the Intel drivers and was just wondering when the merge would be finished. Furthermore I can
try tracing this later during my March 
Break. I do appreciate you being nice to me and am sorry about making you lose
your patience. I am interested in learning about the Intel network drivers and working with them, if would like to give me something to start with. 
Sorry, 
Nick :(
