help for error after changing mode

[Kelly Hogan]

This will reset the firmware, so all settings of power, etc will have  
to be reset.  Also note that with 0.4.9 this command will hang the  
card and cause a kernel panic on 2.6.11 and above if issued too many  
times in succession.  Usually not an issue, But a few thousand resets  
and it will do it.

Good luck...
