Subject: CRC endianess problem on DGE-510T

Hello,

I'm having problems with the PCI network board D-LINK DGE-510T on 
SPARC32/LEON. The CRC calculated by ether_crc_le() does not match the 
CRC, however after swapping the result it matches. This is the same 
behaviour with the 3 boards I have. After applying the patch below 
everything works.

Does anyone know if this is a correct patch or has had similar problems 
on big endian machines?

Daniel
