As Homer would say, Doh!

Please try the updated kern_compat.h from
  ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/kern_compat.h

That is the only driver using cpu_to_be*() functions.  I removed them from
natsemi.c.

Most PCI hardware is little-endian, but you occasionally get some big-endian
infiltrater that puts a B-E element in an otherwise L-E design.

Please send a report.
