Subject: [ 55/56] net/wireless: ipw2200: Fix panic occurring in ipw_handle_promiscuous_tx()

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislav Yakovlev <stas.yakovlev@...il.com>

commit bf11315eeda510ea4fc1a2bf972d8155d31d89b4 upstream.

The driver does not count space of radiotap fields when allocating skb for
radiotap packet. This leads to kernel panic with the following call trace:
