[PATCH 2.6.2] drivers/net/bonding/bond_alb.c

[Bryan Whitehead]

__constant_htons is used on a variable that is only a byte. This results
in an if statement always returning true in function bond_alb_xmit.

This is the compiler warning on gcc 3.3.2 a gentoo linux system:
  CC [M]  drivers/net/bonding/bond_alb.o
drivers/net/bonding/bond_alb.c: In function `bond_alb_xmit':
drivers/net/bonding/bond_alb.c:1340: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type

Here is the patch:
