Hello Guys!

I has IXDP425 board, and should running her in Little Endian mode.
I download redboot BE and LE ROM image from Intel, but has some trouble with NPE network card working in LE mode.



This could be a problem with the CPU. Early (A-step) CPUs do not
correctly support LE mode. This only really shows up in the NPE
ethernet support. Look at the CPU on your board and see if it is
marked "IXP425AD" (A-step) or "IXP425BD" (B-step). A-step will
not support NPE in LE mode.

Yeah, CPU marked IXP425AD.
But i can't understand, really it is impossible to fix it(LE/BE conversion) in the NPE-ethernet driver?
Why not?
