FW: Big endian driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, 

I am trying to run PCI based Ethernet card (RTL 8139) on a big endian
host. 

The pci controller that I have does not have any mechanism for swapping
the Big Endian data to Little Endian. While running the 8139too.c driver
I see that the data generated on the line is Endian swapped. 

In the data sheet of RTL 8139 I could not find any BSWAP bit neither the
8139too.c driver does any swapping of data while transmitting or
receiving. However, if I change the driver to swap data before
transmitting and after receiving I am able to get it working.

Does the RTL 8139 driver in 2.6.10 support Big Endian? Is there any
other Ethernet card driver which supports big endian host (with a PCI
controller which does not support byte swapping)?

Thanks,
SP
