I'm not saying I'm not going to support it in the future. But currently ipw2100 doesn't support big endian machines is the truth. One reason is because I don't have such a box with an ipw2100 card. If you or someone has such a platform and is willing to try patches for me, I'm happy to get this done. That's why the ipw2200 driver has the BE supported. Thanks, -yi
