Yes.

config MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT
        bool "Enable packet alignment debugging"   
        depends on MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU 
        ---help---
          This option is recommended for driver authors and strongly
          discouraged for everybody else, it will trigger a warning
          when a driver hands mac80211 a buffer that is aligned in
          a way that will cause problems with the IP stack on some
          architectures.

          Say N unless you're writing a mac80211 based driver.

Intel doesn't care to make their drivers work on platforms that don't
like unaligned loads, so in the foreseeable future this warning will
show once if you enable that option above that specifically tells you to
turn it off.....
