Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Improve sanity checks on injected packets
To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 13:10:56 +0100
Message-ID: <20070726121056.11153.32846.stgit@localhost>

Michael Wu noticed that the skb length checking is not taken care of enough when
a packet is presented on the Monitor interface for injection.

This patch improves the sanity checking and removes fake offsets placed
into the skb network and transport header.
