Well, if he is using the MVista supplied LSP, the config should be
correct, as it was tested on a similar machine at mvista.  What changed
from PPC5Bug 1.3 to 1.4?  There is a general reliance on the lopec for
the firmware to have set things up correctly, so if there was some
critical fix in 1.4, that might explain it.
