>Description:
fdread returns EPERM when trying ioctl(FD_SOPTS).

The fdc device driver restricts
this ioctl to be only allowed when
the device is opened for writing.

When I modify fdread.c to not open(...,RDONLY)
but RDWR, fdread works.

So this may solve the problem. But I am not
sure if this is the ``clean'' solution.

For me it looks like the device driver
should be changed.
