From c97c23e38625f59e3e9869664eeeb0cab1822948 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Senthil Balasubramanian Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 23:15:32 +0530 Subject: mac80211: fix alignment issue with compare_ether_addr() This addresses an alignment issue with compare_ether_addr(). The addresses passed to compare_ether_addr should be two bytes aligned. It may function properly in x86 platform. However may not work properly on IA-64 or ARM processor. This also fixes a typo in mlme.c where the sk_buff struct name is incorect. Though sizeof() works for any incorrect structure pointer name as its just a pointer length that we want, lets just fix it.
