Sorry for not replying earlier to your bug report. Discover1 is
currently only optimized for kernel 2.4. The problem is that the format
of the discover1 hardware database cannot hold information about kernel
versions. 

Please try discover version 2 (Package: discover) and test if your bug
is still present with the new version.
