IRRC for the Linksys NSLU2, ethernet device wasn't working in little 
endian mode. That's a shame for a nas device. May be it was fixed since 
that time.

Also it really depends of the controllers around the arm core. Some are 
designed for big endian and can't work in little endian mode (or need 
software hack/byte-swap).
