That's still pretty nasty. Eight lines for an if expression! It took me
a couple of glances to realise that there were only two arguments to
eqMacAddr. If you add some temporary variables then you can make the
code a lot more sane, without making it overly verbose:

	u8 *addr, *bssid = priv->ieee80211->current_network.bssid;

	if (fc & IEEE80211_FCTL_TODS)
		addr = hdr->addr1;
	else if (fc & IEEE80211_FCTL_FROMDS)
		addr = hdr->addr2;
	else
		addr = hdr->addr3;

	if (!bHwError && !bCRC && !bICV &&
	    type != IEEE80211_FTYPE_CTL && eqMacAddr(bssid, addr)) {
		...

Also note that the whole if block is indented one too many tab stops.
Would be best to fix that in a separate patch though. If you fix that
first, then you will have more horizontal space to re-organise the
expression inside the if :-).
