What is the difference between u* and uint*_t ? Both are derived from the same basic data type.

Don't use the uint*_t types, they are not correct. See the lkml archives for why this is true.
Use the u8 for when you are in the kernel, and __u8 when you need it for a variable that crosses the userspace/kernelspace barrier.

Thanks, I'll dig up those archives.
