Using 'sizeof' on array given as function argument returns size of a pointer

Oops, yeah, Stephen Hemminger pointed this out a month or so ago and I
forgot to change it, thanks.

This needs to be back-ported for 3.7 stable? Perhaps the code below
corresponds (from copy_mesh_setup)?


/* mcast rate setting in Mesh Node */
memcpy(sdata->vif.bss_conf.mcast_rate, setup->mcast_rate,
sizeof(setup->mcast_rate));

Nevermind..I think I'm wrong about that..the sizeof probably works fine
here. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
