My mistake when typing this, I was thinking on IP header which is 20 Bytes
lenght.
The code used at attempt 4) is:

if (skb->len > 44){
 memcpy (&protocol, skb->data+hdrlen+9,1);
 printk(KERN_DEBUG "Protocol %d \n",protocol);
}

UDP datagrams, that should have a protocol number of 17, show 0 when using
the aforementioned code.
