Hi,



The aligned will make sure that the structure gets padded properly to the size specified. Only on ARM/MIPS etc, structures get automatically aligned according to the element in the structure requiring the greatest alignment. I've test-compiled the USB WLAN drivers, and the aligned makes a difference. The problem is that the radiotap header skews some following elements, so that they are no longer aligned. The radiotap header itself is packed, and this is not a problem.

There is whitespace at the end of some of the comment lines also.

textproc/igor will find problems like that:
