This patch fixes checkpatch.pl warning: WARNING: Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses are __aligned(2) current_net_addr and permanent_net_addr members of vnt_private alignment is changed to at last 16 bits so that ether_addr_copy can be safely used on them. buf->data is of type ieee80211_cts which is already properly aligned.
