[Soekris] set conspeed not working

Hello all,

I recently received my second Net 4801 and am having troubles setting  
the console speed. My first Net 4801 (I've had it for a couple years  
now) works great (BIOS v1.24) but my latest one (BIOS v1.28) has  
issues setting the console speed from the BIOS monitor. If I do a  
"set conspeed=9600" the console stays at 19200. If I then change it  
to something else, the conspeed sets to whatever I set it to last.

In other words:
My command                 Actual conspeed
none (default)                19200
set conspeed 9600       19200
set conspeed 38400     9600
set conspeed 19200     38400
set conspeed 19200     38400
set conspeed 9600       19200

And so forth. Notice that the conspeed will not change if I try to  
set it to the same speed it is already set to. Also, I'm rebooting in  
between each "set conspeed" command to allow the change to take  
effect. Also, I've tried variations on the command such as "set  
ConSpeed=9600" with the same results.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks.

Ian
