The disconnect function can dereference the net_device structure before it is
allocated. This is the case when ejecting the device installer.

Hello!

Patch against 2.6.23.
This patch fixes the bug I've submitted to linux-wireless friday in the
"zd1211rw on 2.6.23 oops ejecting device" thread.

Regards

Marc

ieee80211_get_radiotap_len() tries to dereference radiotap length without
taking care that it is completely unaligned and get_unaligned()
is required.
