Hello Arnd, Thank you for reviewing this. After your email and reviwing this again I'm getting a bit suspicious myself, but this is what I saw: -- First warning: qos_param->cw_min[aci] is defined as __le16() in ieee80211.h (ieee80211_qos_parameters structure) ac_params-> ecw_min_max is defined as u8 in ieee80211.h (ieee80211_qos_ac_parameter structure) So the assignment is: __le16 = u8 & 0x0F; -- Second warning: qos_param->cw_max[aci] is __le16() ac_params-> ecw_min_max is u8 The assignment is: __le16 = (u8 & 0xF0) >> 4; Thus, for the warning 1 and 2, I understand that the result won't be the same if the machine is big-endian or little-endian, and that's why we need a cpu_to_le16. Am I missing something? -- Third warning: In this case both sides of the assignment are already defined as __le16: qos_param->tx_op_limit[aci] (ieee80211_qos_parameters structure defined in ieee80211.h)) ac_params->tx_op_limit (ieee80211_qos_ac_parameter structure defined in ieee80211.h) So the assignment is: __le16() = le16_to_cpu(__le16) Im getting suspicious now, but it sounded wrong to me. In the case the right part is correct, I guess the left part should be u16 type? Regarding the test: I tested it on my machine, but is of course little- endian :( I could built a qemu virtual machine to test it on a big-endian emulated platform. Should that work?
