Personally, I was under the impression that in userspace libc trap unaligned access and make them work. I mean, this code was tested on other 64/32 bit platforms (PPC, AMD-64, PS3) and was working there, so this seems to be specific to your platform.
Sure. The platform is a Sun Ultra 10, running Debian Lenny: Linux trad 2.6.22 #2 Fri Nov 30 13:47:43 EST 2007 sparc64 GNU/Linux (just noticed that the clock is wrong. I'll sort that out later).
In any case, I've modified my code to use a memcpy() instead of direct memory access. I'm not 100% sure it will fix it because many time memcpy() is optimised away to a direct memory access. So, you'll find attached a new version of Wireless Tools. Just tell me if it work. You can remove the debugging output by commenting out the "#define DEBUG" lines (grep for it).
Yes, that has fixed it. Thank you very much. Regards, Shaddy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
