That case you didn't convert in mac80211 is probably the
bug Johannes was talking about which started this whole
discussion.

The bug case that started it all is in net/wireless/scan.c and Emmanuel
has since changed it back to memcmp(). Not sure if that's the one you
were referring to or not :-)

That's the one that I left alone.

Post patch:
$ git grep -n -w compare_ether_addr net
net/batman-adv/main.h:198: * note: can't use compare_ether_addr() as it requires aligned memory
net/wireless/scan.c:381:        return compare_ether_addr(a->bssid, b->bssid);

Ok, great, then that means the fix from Emmanuel won't conflict when it
gets in.

Thanks Joe - as Johannes said this won't conflict with my patch. And
yes the code is now more clear.
