I tried (changed /sys/src/9/pc/memory.c)
and the wavelan works now on the R31.
I did not yet check if this change makes a difference
(in a negative way) on `my' other systems.

W.r.t. the R31: Unfortunately, vga does not work (yet?)
(tried the i81x driver).
(the screen changes color slowly in a (when I saw it first time)
 disturbing way -- not everything changes at the same time --
 until I end up with a white/grey screen. no mouse, no menus)
