From: Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
All of the rtlwifi drivers have an error in the routine that tests if
the data is "special". If it is, the subsequant transmission will be
at the lowest rate to enhance reliability. The 16-bit quantity is
big-endian, but was being extracted in native CPU mode. One of the
effects of this bug is to inhibit association under some conditions
as the TX rate is too high.
A statement that would have made the code correct had been changed to
a comment. Rather than just reinstating that code, the fix here passes
sparse tests. A side effect of fixing this problem would have been to force
all IPv6 frames to run at the lowest rate. The test for that frame type
is removed.
The original code only checked the lower-order byte of UDP ports for BOOTP
protocol. That is extended to the full 16-bit source and destination ports.
One of the local headers contained duplicates of some of the ETH_P_XXX
definitions. These are deleted.

Now you're missing byte-swapping here, and using the wrong offset for
the dest port (4 bytes rather than 2).
If you really think this is necessary then use something like:
if ((udp->source == htons(68) &&
udp->dest == htons(67)) ||
...
Or maybe something like this?

Joe,
Thanks for this. I have rewritten the function somewhat along these lines. It is
much cleaner this way.
