Sorry, that was sloppy on my part.  Here's what I meant:

	et131x_mii_read(adapter, MII_BMCR, (u16 *)&regs_buff[num++]);

That puts the number in the 2 high bits which works for little
endian systems but not for big endian.  It should be something like:

	u16 tmp;

	et131x_mii_read(adapter, MII_BMCR, &tmp);
	regs_buff[num++] = tmp;
