cpu_to_be32() is for converting a 'cpu' endianness value to 'big-endian'. Here you are processing receive data - so you probably want be32_to_cpu(). (Yes, I know they are functionally identical....) Alternatively, since these aren't actually 32bit numbers and you know whether you want to swap, something like the __swab32p() from swab.h - but I'm not entirely sure that one is expected to be used. Clearly you are well inside the ppc 'endianness' hell. David
