I'm quite sure it wouldn't work; quite a few 32/16bit write/read's
to/from ioremap'ed memory are performed in host horder... :-/

but you're a welcome tester and you've motivated me to give this issue a
higher priority... expect some of the next cvs commits to be related to
portability :-)

I'm wondering whether the embedded linux in the wg602 accesspoint was
running the mips cpu in LE or BE mode... or if they had a big-endian
correct driver...
