From 01e1f045e65b683fe7203b1e16a915bbb94c15fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Drake Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 22:03:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ieee80211: fix unaligned access in ieee80211_copy_snap There is no guarantee that data+SNAP_SIZE will reside on an even numbered address, so doing a 16 bit read will cause an unaligned access in some situations.
