	struct tty_struct *my_tty;
        my_tty = current->signal->tty;

	if (my_tty != NULL) {

		
		((my_tty->driver)->ops->write) (my_tty,str,strlen(str));	

		((my_tty->driver)->ops->write) (my_tty, "\015\012", 2);

	}

Hi,

the parameters vary a mong the linux versions:

with the linux versions >= 2,6,20 , the declaration of hook function must be : hookf(......., struct sk_buff *skb) , that means ONLY one asterisk.
