What code do you have that needs the timestamp.
2.6 doesn't enable timestamps unless some application needs it.

If it is a kernel driver, then it should call net_enable_timestamp()
when loaded and net_disable_timestamp() when unloaded.

In 2.4, I relied on the skb->stamp to contain the timestamp of when
the packet entered the bridge.  In 2.6, I don't seem to be seeing this
behaviour.  Is this correct?  If so, what is the best place for me to
grab the timestamp of the packet entering the bridge.

TIA.
