…egment Either first 3 bytes of the first received tcp segment or last one over MTU size file can be loss due to the byte alignment problem. Although ATH6KL_HTC_ALIGN_BYTES was defined for 'extra bytes for htc header alignment' in the patch "Fix buffer alignment for scatter-gather I/O"(1df94a8), there exists the bytes loss issue which means that it will be truncated 3 bytes in the transmitted file contents if a file which has over MTU size is transferred through TCP/IP stack. It doesn't look like TCP/IP stack bug of 3.5 or the latest version of kernel but the byte alignment issue. This patch is to use the roundup() function for the byte alignment rather than the predefined ATH6KL_HTC_ALIGN_BYTES. Signed-off-by: Myoungje Kim <[email protected]>

I found the driver bug which occur loss of some bytes on the TCP/IP stack.
Either first 3 bytes of the first received tcp segment or last one
over MTU size file can be loss due to the byte alignment problem.
