This may be of interest to some others on the list.
A month or so ago I sent a bug report to the linux kernel mailing list
on a failure installing the a100u2w module on my 7600/200 (actually
with a G4 @450MHz). This machine, though OldWorld is actually running
YDL5 (as well as OS9 and OSX). The Apple systems work well on my
Initio Miles2 card, but I had never been able to get any success at
all on Linux. With kernel 2.6.25.4 I got some useful error messages
which I sent in.
The following is the response which seems to fix a fair number of
endian bugs in the driver source. At the moment I am away from home
and not in a position to try the patch, but it may be worth mentioning
here. If the following email does not work due to lines being too
long try the url:

Oh, sorry. I disabled "quell flowed text", sent mail to myself and it
applies. Here I'm sending them again:
Support big endian systems in a100u2w driver.
