This patch fixes it, it is based on the patch proposed by Herbert Xu. The alignment 4 has been the agreed value on the linux-wireless mailing list. Notify that the problem does only affect the old zd1211rw softmac driver and not the zd1211rw-mac80211 driver. Daniel Drake has already provided a patch for the replacement of the softmac driver, which this patch will break. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz Signed-off-by: John W.
