The coverity scanner marked these two memcpy()'s as causing a buffer overflow in CIDs 142743 and 142744. This is due the h_dest member of struct ethhdr being used as a target (size ETH_ALEN) in memcpy, but the copy is of size ETH_HLEN. However, the intention here seems to be to copy the entire ethernet header. Make that clear by specifying the proper destination buffer. Also remove the unnecessary casts of the source argument.
