(This mail is CC'ed to linux-net mailing list) Hi, I have a question about netlink socket. It can be a 'stupid' question, but I need help about it. The question is : "Does it matter to change endian in netlink socket communication?" Usually there is no endian-transition code in netlink socket program, but netlink socket is also 'socket', so I think when I want to use netlink communication, I have to use endian transition, but no one did it! :) I'm testing netlink socket for Traffic Control (TC) in MPC8250, which is a Motorola PowerPC based CPU. TC works good in normal Pentium-based PC, but it doesn't look working very well on MPC8250 - Traffics cannot recognize their own filters when running through the linux router. So I wonder whether this problem is related to netlink endian transition. Is there anybody who has tested netlink socket in PPC-based platform?
