[PATCH] mac80211: fix GCC warning on 64bit platforms

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



net/mac80211/ieee80211.c: In function ieee80211_register_hw:
net/mac80211/ieee80211.c:4989: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

Fix by casting from size_t to unsigned as size of ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr
structure will never be greater than that.
