It's now fixed, I've written a backport of the 0.29 driver, it's at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109439014812433&w=2
But that backport was stopped due to an oddity in your original backport:
From http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.1/1523.html:

NVENET_3 can't have the id 0x00d5. I've asked Jane Liu a month ago to double check the values and I'm still waiting for a reply.
For me, that's the only open point that prevents merging. What I'm missing is a positive test report from a non-GB board, but that's not mandatory - IMHO the code receives enough testing in 2.6.
