Patch to resolve build error.

Since linux-next-20090903 (possibly a few days earlier -- was on holiday), I've been getting build failures for rt2x00dev.c because of wrongly-formatted headers for rt2x00crypto_rx_insert_iv.

The attached patch resolves the issue for me and applied cleanly and built on tonight's Linus tree as well as linux-next trees from last week.  I sent patches to linux-next and linux-net but had no acknowledgement, and am preparing a re-send to include LKML too.  I'm horrified that a fixable bug with an existing patch has migrated to Linus' mainline for 2.6.32.

Hi Ken,

This was discussed on lkml in this thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/891014

The submitted patch referenced in that thread was sent to linux-wireless here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/39733

I expect John Linville and/or Dave Miller will send it to Linus as part of a batch soon.

Cheers,

Andrew
