We had a (different) bug report involving exactly this external driver
at some older post 2.6.23 kernel where it turned out it was a problem in
this driver - and this one also looks really like a problem in their
driver.

Generally, problems with external drivers should be reported to the
vendors of these drivers and not here (unless it's clear it's a bug in
the kernel and not in the driver).
