[patch 01/11] prism54 : Fix frame length

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Nov 09 2005 - 13:37:56 EST


From: Roger While <simrw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

prism54 is leaking information when passing transmits to the firmware.
There is no requirement to adjust the length to >= ETH_ZLEN.
Just pass the skb length (after possible adjustment).
