PowerPC in little endian mode

2000-02-17 Thread Patrick Lerda
Most of the trouble I have on my PowerPC platform came from the fact that Linux work in big-endian mode, this break some drivers like last USB developement, and other PCI boards that work fine on i386 linux. Designing a driver working on different little-endian proce
