Hi Imre :
The firmware uploaded by hotplug runs on the device itself .
Yes , that's what i concern .
I know the firmware will run by itself in most of x86 system , what i don't know is
Will it also run on the ARM device itself too ??
And , i am not using the Intel board , i guess it doesn't have any relation with the endian either .
Thank you .

Hi Shawn,
the firmware uploaded by hotplug runs on the device itself, so it is
"endian-neutral" for the host system (this is true for both the bcm43xx
and the ipw2200). I think Your problems are coming from that You are using
an Intel IXP425, right? If so, You can read about the discussion on the
bcm43xx list archieve
(https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2006-May/001738.html).
Best Regards,
Imre
