1. It looks incomplete.
In the function call "netxen_send_cmd_descs" we have to pass "&req" as
2nd argument not "ipaddr".

2. Your above suggestion is with assumption that the data type of 2nd
argument "ip"
in "netxen_config_ipaddr()" is still "u32". This is not true.

Some days back you suggested to change the data type to "__be32".
In the present patch
the "ip" is in "__be32" format i.e already in Big endian format
as per requirement.
We need to only convert this 32 bit to 64 bit. There are two ways:

a. *(__be64 *)&req.words[1] = ip; // auto conversion

b. *(__be64 *)&req.words[1] = cpu_to_be64(be32_to_cpu(ip));
// explicit conversion.


Please correct me if I am wrong.

Santosh
