[irda-users] Irdadump: Little- / Big-Endian

[<gol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just had a deeper look at the source-code of irdadump, as it's the 
only part of the irda-utils which doesn't cross-compile for arm without 
additional attention.
I discovered that the source- and destination-addresses ('frame->saddr' 
and 'frame->daddr') are converted _from_ Little-Endian. Which seems odd 
to me, because network byte ordering is supposed to be Big-Endian (isn't 
it?), and also the address as listed by ifconfig is byte-switched 
compared to that shown by irdadump.

Suggestion: I think converting _from_ Big Endian (e.g. ntohs() or 
GINT32_FROM_BE() in glib'ish) should be the way it's done. Then, the 
ifconfig-address should be right.

Thanks for your comments.
Simon.

PS: What's the reason irdadump is based on glib?? It's annoyingly hard 
to compile that for arm...
