Personally I'm less fussed about WAN / LE support. Anyone with any  
sense will run ixp4xx boards doing such a specialised network  
operation as BE. Also, NSLU2-Linux can't test this functionality with  
our LE setup as we don't have this hardware on-board. You may just  
want to declare a depends on ARMEB in Kconfig (with or without OR  
(ARM || BROKEN) ) and have done with it - it's up to you.

Christian Hohnstaedt's work did support LE though.

Not all ixp4xx boards are by definition "doing such a specialised 
network operation".


Krzysztof, why is LE not supported?

Do you need access to ixp4xx that starts in LE mode?
