+From: Matthieu CASTET <castet.matthieu@free.fr>
+
+Fix possible unaligned u32 access in b43_generate_plcp_hdr().
+Unaligned data is read/write with a u32 pointer instead of using the
+packed structure. Some versions of gcc ignore the "packed" attribute, if the
+structure element is accessed through a local pointer.
