Hi folks...

I cooked up a fix for the "kernel crashes if you use LINK0 with the
ray driver" problem.  The problem is that when using the E2 encapsulation
mode that is required to communicate with the WebGear Windows driver,
the packet payload (i.e. the IP header, etc.) is unaligned.  This causes
an unaligned access fault when the IP layer attempts to process the
packet.

Note this bug only happens on systems where strict alignment is required,
e.g. Alpha and MIPS.

I cooked this up because I need to start using my WebGear cards in this
mode, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

Patch is attached; I'd like some feedback ASAP, as it will probably be
a few days before I get a chance to really try it out myself.
