[PATCH 3.4 13/43] staging: r8712u: Fix case where ethtype was never obtained and always be checked against 0

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

commit f764cd68d9036498f08fe8834deb6a367b5c2542 upstream.

Zero-initializing ether_type masked that the ether type would never be
obtained for 8021x packets and the comparison against eapol_type
would always fail.
