From: David Hill <david.hill@ubisoft.com>

Since commit ea812ca1b06113597adcd8e70c0f84a413d97544, NET_IP_ALIGN changed from
2 to 0. Some people have reported that tethering stopped working and David Hill
submited a patch that seems to fix the problem.

I have no more an iPhone device to test it, so it is only compile-tested.

No, you can't do this.

If there is some reason to use a fixed alignment of 2 (which I find hard
to believe; this is a USB device after all) then that should be
specified as a private constant.

Ben.
