Hey all,

GCC4.0.0 is giving me a warning that I cant seem to get rid of. In the
file drivers/net/wireless/wavelan_cs.c on lines 3607 and 3608 is the
following assignment:

cfblk.ifrm_spc = 0x20;
cfblk.slottim_low = 0x20;

where ifrm_spc and slottim_low are both of type unsigned char.

Compiling on a X86_64 emits the warning: large integer implicitly
truncated to unsigned type.

Explicitly casting 0x20 to unsigned char or u_char does not get rid of
the warning. Also, the warning starts at values 0x10 and above.

Any ideas/leads would be greatly appreciated.
