Please report problems with the driver to me! I first heard of the
problem from a Fedora user last week and it turned out to be a typo in
the driver. The fix is in 2.6.23.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/73294 for details.

I don't actually have the hardware myself - I wrote the driver for a
friend who has one, that's probably why I never noticed myself.

They are indeed cheap, but I haven't been able to find any around here
(.be).
