[patch] isdn: type bug in isdn_net_header()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2012-02-09 10:47:26
Also in: kernel-janitors
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

We use len to store the return value from eth_header().  eth_header()
can return -ETH_HLEN (-14).  We want to pass this back instead of
truncating it to 65522 and returning that.
