Yeah, OLPC's CaFe controller -- which might be the same hardware as yours,
actually -- has the same problem.

Does anyone know of a reason (beyond strict spec-compliance, I suppose)
for honoring the timeout value rather than using 0xE everywhere?  If not,
I'm willing to try out Philip's suggestion.
