Comment:
I have taken a look at the ipw2100 driver, and it is written in a way that
it just doesn't work on big endian systems like ar71xx. Fixing this is non
trivial as the code does a lot of assumptions about the endianess of data
read/written, so I decided to disable the drivers for any big endian
systems in r46708 / r46710.
