- Return 8390.c to the old way of handling short packets (which is also
faster)
- Remove the skb_padto from orinoco. This got left in when the padding bad
write patch was added and is actually not needed. This is fixing a merge
error way back when.
- Wavelan can also use the stack based buffer trick if you want
