I have the Hayes; in my patches (which I ported to 1.1 from John Vinopal's
NetBSD changes, and then gave to Bruce to port to 2.x), the FIFO does seem
to be fully used. I'm not sure how to tell, though ;).
I've thought about adding support for the higher speeds to the driver;
basicly, that would mean having the driver check the speed being requested,
and find the correct multiplier.
Sean.
