We're getting very close here.

Line wrap problem.  This happens a few times in your patch, but this was
the first one I noticed.

What are these magic constants?  Symbolic names or comments would be
apropriate here.

What does this block do?  In general, you could use some more comments
about the code flow...

This is an interesting section of code.  Do you have reason to believe that
some of the units you've claimed via unusual_devs.h do not support this
protocol, or are you just being forward-looking?

Either way, some debug printout would be good here...

I thought we changed this so that the non-spec protocols started from 0xfe
and worked their way down?
