BTW, this code looks racy. It is modifying a global array member
without any locking. If there is any chance that two instances of
qeth_check_ipa_data() are running in parallel and both have unknown
command (or unknown rc), we could end up overrunning either
qeth_ipa_rc_msg[] or qeth_ipa_cmd_names[]. OK, that's unlikely to
happen in practice (I suppose unknown command and unknown rc are not
supposed to happen in the first place), but that's still bad programming
style. I'll try to come up with something better...
