+Subject: staging: r8712u: Fix case where ethtype was never obtained and always be checked against 0
+
+From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
+
+commit f764cd68d9036498f08fe8834deb6a367b5c2542 upstream.
+
+Zero-initializing ether_type masked that the ether type would never be
+obtained for 8021x packets and the comparison against eapol_type
+would always fail.
