From: Kalle Valo Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:54:57 +0000 (+0100) Subject: mac80211: remove payload alignment warning X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=59d9cb071d6209f2e8df2d16228cfdc7bab1f2d1;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git mac80211: remove payload alignment warning The payload alignment warning enabled by MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT is difficult. To fix it, a firmware change is needed but in most cases that's very difficult. So the benefit from the warning is low and most probably it just creates more confusion for people who just enable all warnings (like it did for me). Remove the unaligned IP payload warning and the kconfig option. But leave the unaligned packet warning, it will be enabled with MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG.
