This patch fixes the endian issues with the ICV in WEP, as pointed out by
David Kimdon [EMAIL PROTECTED], and uses __le32 where
appropriate to make things clear.
Applied to my tree. Thanks for the patch!

The ICV is transmitted on the network as a 4 byte little endian
quantity. WEP encryption needs to swap the bytes before transmission
and decryption needs to swap bytes before ICV verification.

Holy shit, this fixes the bug I am hunting
Huh. I assumed crc32_le gave us the result in little endian, but I guess
that's wrong.
I've attached another patch which basically does the same thing but adds some
sparse bitwise annotations to make things clear. Also, it has a signed-off-by
line. :)
