I have no idea how this ever worked before.

+struct net_protocol ipv4_protocol;

 struct ipv4_route {
 	/** Network address */
 	 */
 	uip_len = pkb_len ( pkb );
 	memcpy ( uip_buf, pkb->data, uip_len );
+	free_pkb ( pkb );
 
 	/* Hand to uIP for processing */
 	uip_input ();
 	if ( uip_len > 0 ) {
-		pkb_empty ( pkb );
-		pkb_put ( pkb, uip_len );
-		memcpy ( pkb->data, uip_buf, uip_len );
+		pkb = alloc_pkb ( MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN + uip_len );
+		if ( ! pkb )
+			return -ENOMEM;
+		pkb->net_protocol = &ipv4_protocol;
+		pkb_reserve ( pkb, MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN );
+		memcpy ( pkb_put ( pkb, uip_len ), uip_buf, uip_len );
 		net_transmit ( pkb );
-	} else {
-		free_pkb ( pkb );
 	}
 	return 0;
 }
