In some cases firmware can give us bad value of index in transmit buffers array. This patch add sanity check for such values and return from processing function instantly when it happens. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521931 Patch was tested by reporter on iwl5000. I think check can be also helpful for 4965.
