Ugh, this one change would require me to repost all my patches.  Oh 
well.  I wish someone else had noticed it before I got to version 5.

I'll post a new version on January 7, when I get back to the office.

I'll add those files only after my patches have been applied.  The 
layout may change between now and then, and I don't want to have to 
repost the firmware.

Ok, I'll change it.  I wasn't crazy about it after I wrote it, anyway.

Ok, but that new design was added after I posted this patch.

What's wrong with looking for the firmware node inside the QE node? 
That's the only place it can be?

Ok.
