If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger 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.
