[PATCH] Better fixup for the orinoco driver
The latest kernel added a pretty ugly fix for the orinoco etherleak bug
which contains bogus skb->len checks already done by the caller and causes
copies of all odd sized frames (which are quite common)
While the skb->len check should be ripped out the other fix is harder to do
properly so I'm proposing for this the -mm tree only until next 2.6.x so
that it gets tested.
Instead of copying buffers around blindly this code implements a padding
aware version of the hermes buffer writing function which does padding as
the buffer is loaded and thus more cleanly and without bogus 1.5K copies.
