[PATCH 2.6.30] mac80211: fix alignment calculation bug

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

 



When checking whether or not a given frame needs to be
moved to be properly aligned to a 4-byte boundary, we
use & 4 which wasn't intended, this code should check
the lowest two bits.
