I've had countless numbers of wd8013 (SMC) cards reprogrammed by this !@#$
probe.  If you are thinking of uncommenting that silly ancient cdrom in
the GENERIC and INSTALL kernels I have one word for you:

Dont.

I *REALLY REALLY* hate sitting down with a calculator and trying to reprogram
my cards.  I've wiped out many cards by accidentally booting a 1.2 or 1.1
install disk to recover from a disaster.  It is not amusing in the least.  And
no.. I wont test if it's been fixed.. I've reprogrammed my 3 cards about 4
times each now and I'm pretty sick of it.  ;)
