You could try putting back the UNALIGNED_ACCESS in net/mac80211/rx.c and

the following patch

/* The actual length doesn't include the target's alignment */
- skb->len = desc->length - PLCP_HEADER_LENGTH;
+ skb_trim(skb, desc->length - PLCP_HEADER_LENGTH);

fc = (u16 *)skb->data;

seems to fix the issue, including those "corrupt probe response" messages in dmesg log (I took that 'skb_trim' from the original Nokia kernel). Will send a properly formatted patch shortly.

Thanks,
Ivo
