Hi,

I had the same error messages (as stated in the previous comment) when using the
actual driver on a ppc. It seems, that the card can't do DMA to the host. This
is a result of a little/big-endian problem, because some memory adresses (kernel
space ppc == big endian [like sparc]) are not converted to little endian
(command block structure of prism card).

Applying the patch from
http://prism54.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73
solved the problem.

@prism54-devel: I suggest to let this bug depend on #73 and to reopen #73, until
it's fixed.

best regards,
Christian
