Well, I can confirm that this patch works. I have tested it in two kind of 
boxes, both Dell: Optiplex 745 and Optiplex GX620. 

Also, I have included Jona Forsslund (sorry Jones, if you are not interested 
delete the mail) that report this solution in some hardware that he has to 
make EPP mode avalible. [1]

Which kind of test? without the patch, when EPP mode is disable and with the 
EPP mode is enable. Also, I have tried to write a EPP message and seems that 
works.
