tried but didn't work at all. the help file does say the retf version can
be used with packet drivers so seems to be right.

ok, i changed this but it made no difference sadly :(
i thought callback_regs was global and therefore you wouldn't need to pass
*r like this?
i put callback_regs.x.di=0
and callback_regs.x.es=0
in this function too to see if that would help, as the documents say that
when called this function should return a buffer to put the packet in and
setting to 0 discards the packet. but that didn't help in the slightest
and still gave me the error :(
