If you want to read a 16-bit little endian value at the given offset, I suggest that you use le16_to_cpup(), which operates on pointers and does the cast for you. A better but more elaborate solution would be to define a structure that would have __le16 rx_mtu at the offset 40. Then you can cast bootrec to that structure and apply le16_to_cpu() to that field. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
