ath6kl: Fix accessing wrong skb->data in ath6kl_tx_complete()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When buffer alignmnet is applied, the data pointer of skb taken from
cookie will no longer point to the first byte of the actual data.
But the skb->data pointer is used in ath6kl_tx_complete() to get
the index of the virtual interface which will not give the correct
interface index and sometimes may give the following WARN_ON() message.
Use packet->buf instead of skb->data to fix this.
