I see you used the same source to find the answer than I: kernel sources.

Network byte order is big endian, while host byte order on Intel is little endian, so on an Intel machine the output has the "wrong" order.

I still wonder why they haven't written: printk(KERN_WARNING "martian source %08x for %08x, dev %s\n", ntohl(saddr), ntohl(daddr), dev->name); Well, who knows. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
