Hi Johannes,

Do you know if for outgoing frames the header should always
be 4-byte aligned?
I have a bugreport from users claiming that master mode
is failing for rt2500pci because the beacons passed to the
driver are not 4-byte aligned which causes the device not
to send out the beacons correctly.

I'm just wondering if this is something that should be fixed
in the driver or in mac80211.

Thanks,

Ivo
