I finally got around to working with 2.6, and I ran into the
new timestamp code.  I would like to be able to have timestamps
even though I do not have a socket structure (I am using a kernel
module to grab all frames)...

How would you feel about either exporting the netstamp_needed variable
or offering a method that explicitly incremented or decremented the
use count?

Thanks,
Ben
