Sorry about the double-message, Larry.) If priv->rx_mtu is u16, I'm surprised it doesn't get noisy about the size_t cast. Unless the machine it's being compiled on is 16-bit, that should throw a truncation warning, because size_t should be a 32-bit integer on 32-bit machines (typically). I think if you change the (__le16) cast to (__le16 __force) it will stop warning you about that particular issue. - Steven -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
