The unofficial (though correct) fix to this is to change the definition
of the "boarddata" variable. It currently reads
static u_short boarddata[16];
and it should read
static u_char boarddata[16];
(I'm doing this from memory, but the relevant piece of information is
the change from a 16-bit unsigned short int to an 8-bit unsigned
character.)

I'm interested in any enhancements to the driver, also; perhaps we can
get it included in the unofficial patches on agate?
