Q:possibility PFIL+mbuf use for packet spawning

[q q]

I coded all checksum calculations code. All works ok when i just modifying
data of packets(like all T letters to Q letters)

But now i get some strange error:
packet1: TestMessage.
packet2: 2nd message

im using on first packet only next code(data is a pointer to char* from mbuf
containing strings):

TEST[0]='G';
TEST[1]='\0';
int res=m_append(*m,2,TEST);
m_fixhdr(*m);
printf("res cames from m_append:%d \n",res);
printf("new data string is %s \n",data);
iph->ip_len+=2;//modifying IP header length

Then recalculatin IP and TCP cheksums(correctly seems because network doesnt
drop packets)

And server got message:"Test Message.Qnd message" As well server reply with
ACK=25. So seems no new chars were added.
Seems like im overwriting 2nd packet. But why this happening?

Thank you :)

Yours, Qspirit.

PS sorry Max for double mail, forgot to add cc hackers.
