The previous function to call rtw_find_network(), has been aligned for parameter 'addr',
because it has been defined an arry[6];
such as unsigned char MacAddress[ETH_ALEN] in struct wlan_bssid_ex;
 179 struct wlan_bssid_ex {
 180         u32  Length;
 181         unsigned char MacAddress[ETH_ALEN];
 182         u8  Reserved[2];/* 0]: IS beacon frame */
 183         struct ndis_802_11_ssid  ssid;
 184         u32  Privacy;
 185         NDIS_802_11_RSSI  Rssi;/* in dBM,raw data ,get from PHY) */
 186         enum  NDIS_802_11_NETWORK_TYPE  NetworkTypeInUse;
 187         struct ndis_802_11_config  Configuration;
 188         enum ndis_802_11_network_infra  InfrastructureMode;
 189         unsigned char SupportedRates[NDIS_802_11_LENGTH_RATES_EX];
 190         struct wlan_phy_info    PhyInfo;
 191         u32  ie_length;
 192         u8  ies[MAX_IE_SZ];     /* timestamp, beacon interval, and
 193                                  * capability information)
 194                                  */
 195 } __packed;

rtw_survey_event_callback->rtw_find_network(&pmlmepriv->scanned_queue,  pnetwork->MacAddress);
struct wlan_bssid_ex *pnetwork;
