---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I checked dahdi_dynamic_eth.c against the vanilla 2.6.16.54 kernel and it
compiled fine.  It appears as if SUSE has a patch to the kernel in their
distribution that drops the alloc flags from the skb_linearize call, but
I'm not sure what dahdi_dynamic_eth.c can check for at compile time to work
around this.

Either you can apply issue-14525.patch, which I've attached to this issue,
recompile your own vanilla kernel, or see if there is a SUSE kernel based
on 2.6.18 or greater.
