    Thanks, actually, I see this:

    Could you try with a vanilla 2.6.22 kernel? The reason for all of this
    is that 2.6.22 predates Alan's conversion of this driver (which was my
    95% candidate for the source of the bug). I want you to try the vanilla
    kernel just in case the opensuse one contains a backport.

    Thanks,

    James
