From: Pierre Le Magourou <plemagourou@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When enabling WLAN tethering, a new AP is visible and a STA could connect to it. When the STA tries to authenticate to the newly created AP, the WPA authentication mechanism is stuck in the 1/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake. In ath6kl_rx(), the ath6kl_find_sta() function is looking for the h_source field of the Ethernet frame header received by the STA. The datap pointer that points to the Ethernet frame header is incorrect, and was pointing at the wrong offset in the buffer. This commit adds a pad_before_data_start offset to set the datap pointer to the Ethernet frame header. datap->h_source parameter is now really pointing to the source ethernet address and the authentication process can continue.
