Hi, Support for big-endian platforms (as well as AP mode) for iwlwifi is currently *planned* to be added by Intel in the near future for several purposes. However, the vast majority of iwlwifi users at this point run it over little-endian platforms. _Delaying_ the inclusion of iwlwifi driver will not assist iwlwifi-over-big-endian-platform users in any way, but the impact on the rest of the users is clear. We got many comments from the community and we thank you for that. We do our best to fix all of them in timely manner for the benefit of everyone. If something falls between the cracks it is only because of limited resources, priority issues, human mistakes or alike and not because of flippancy or anything like that. I hope you understand that. Guy. PS I marked *planned* with asterisks so no one mixes it by mistake with *committed* and attack me if Intel stops making HW and SW, etc :) On 5/21/07, Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >On Mon, May 21, 2007 at 09:48:30AM -0700, James Ketrenos wrote: >> Second, regarding your prior thread, you more or less demanded that the >> driver maintainer send you hardware.
