NACK.  Fix it instead.

There's a lot more little endian platforms than just the intel ones, aswell.

It seems you're totally unsuitable as a driver or subsystem maintainer if
you favour you own employer so much.

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,

I'm happy to test ipw2100 on big endian systems if you send me a card.
