What is wrong with this kernel module??? :((

[Murtaza]

I am writing a module for getting the udp packets @ kernel level to optimize
an application i am building. I am running the following code by using
virtual Linux Kernel for debugging purpose(using some umlscript shell). But
I am not able to catch udp packets at the kernel level when the packets are
sent to it. Can anybody help please???
