That will not change a thing. Other than trip some sparse warnings,
le32_to_cpu() and cpu_to_le32() do the same thing. On little-endian boxes, they
are a no-op, and on big-endian platforms, they both reverse the byte order.
Switching the call only makes it clearer what is happening.
I am having trouble getting Ubuntu 11.04 running on my Macbook. The OS is
installed, but no X at the moment.
BTW, please do not drop the Cc to wireless. I want to keep the ML in the loop.
Larry
