Here's what I meant: et131x_mii_read(adapter, MII_BMCR, (u16 *)®s_buff[num++]); That puts the number in the 2 high bits which works for little endian systems but not for big endian. It should be something like: u16 tmp; et131x_mii_read(adapter, MII_BMCR, &tmp); regs_buff[num++] = tmp; regards, dan carpenter
