- I want to thank Charles Fee and Birko Bergt for their messages
- suggesting solutions. I uncommented the #define FORCE_8BIT line in
- linux/net/tcp/wereg.h as Birko suggested, and it booted fine. Of
- cource, once I told that to my accomplice in Linux hacking here, he said
- 'Yes! That's what I had to do to get it to work before! How could I
- forget that?' Maybe this should go into the Q&D README as a note for
- WD8003 users?
