From 885d29941435e16dea6a52e42bbb3c8b87676bd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hauke Mehrtens Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2013 11:10:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bgmac: fix unaligned accesses to network headers Without this patch I get many unaligned access warnings per packet, this patches fixes them all. This should improve performance on some systems like mips. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens Signed-off-by: David S.
