-The driver provides a big-endian pcmcia bus, which is wrong in the
-.Ox
-context. Due to missing/incomplete documentation of the chipset it is not
-known for sure if the hardware has any byteswapping mode. For sparc64 systems
-this can easily be worked around in software, so this will be fixed. For
-sparc systems, the fix might impose a serious performance degration and is
-subject of further research.
+Unlike other pcmcia adapters which are little-endian, this bridge
+provides a big-endian

+bus.
+Therefore, 16 bit drivers need to be made aware of this before they will
+work.
