[Qemu-devel] PATCH: hw/rtl8139.c for Sparc (BigEndian) Hosts

[Ben Taylor]

This patch is to fix a big-endian problem in the RTL-8139 driver. The additional
debugging is mine, and the actual code fixes are by Garrison (Igor Kovalenko -
address@hidden).  Code has been tested on 32-bit Solaris x86 and 32-bit
Solaris Sparc hosts, with and without debugging. 

There were two problems.

1) the setup of the MAC address was not big-endian friendly
2) due to some feature of le32_to_cpu, the pointer to the buffer
    for the packet was off in never-never land.  Just setting the
    val in rtl8139_TxAddr_write was enough to fix the problem,
    and networking both in and out are working properly on a sparc host.
