These endianness fixes for netxen are starting to get reduclious. You mean in all this time, nobody noticed that reading the MAC address isn't done correctly on big-endian? Well then I guess all of these small endianness fixes aren't very critical this late in the RC series. I want to start slimming down the amount of small driver fixes that are still being submitted this late. And these endian bits that show the device is basically unused by anyone (perhaps other than you) on big endian are a good way to start. Submit them for net-next-2.6 of course, but I'm tossing this series for net-2.6, sorry.
