    hostap: pad the skb->cb usage in lieu of a proper fix · f7cd1686
    Johannes Berg authored
    Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass
    information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device
    to the physical wireless device.  Unfortunately, that trick no longer
    works...
    
    Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack
    the best option we have in the short run.  Hopefully someone will
    eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected
    hardware dies.
