#876: [patch] Prism header - frame length

Component: madwifi: driver | Version: trunk
Keywords: | Patch_attached: 1
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
In monitor mode the frame length that the driver gets from the skbuff
variable is already the length of the MAC frame and does not need a
correction (minus sizeof(prismheader)).
After the patch the lenght of a MAC frame is reproted correctly in
ethereal etc. in bigendian like the other fields in the prismheader.
I found this bug because when you have a 802.11 ACK which has always 14
Bytes ethereal reproted a weird frame length. The problem is that the
prismheader has a size of 144Bytes so when you do the math 14-144 for an
uint32 you will get a very large 802.11 ACK Packet.
