Re: FIXME in solos-pci.c

The last I heard on this topic was from Guy Ellis,

	Hi Chas/Nick,

	I think the FIXME is reminder to deal correctly with an unknown command.
	At the moment an unknown command is treated as a PKT_COMMAND which is 
	incorrect.
	I think the correct behaviour would be to ignore unknown commands and 
	just free the skb.

	That said I doubt this condition ever occurs, which is probably why it 
	has been this way since day 1.

	Nathan is on vacation at the moment, when he gets back in August I'll 
	ask him to tidy this up.

So perhaps, Guy could let us know if he had a chance for Nathan to
look at removing this FIXME.

Greetings Chas,
I am wondering if there is any reason for the FIXME message in the below code. This is due to after reading the other parts of the function the code and logical seem similar and correct unless I am missing something about the hardware.
Cheers Nick
