hey Joerg,
Thanks for this report. This fix has gone upstream so I've queued
this for the first etch update. I'd appreciate it if you could test a
snapshot build that includes this fix and reply to this report. Such a
snapshot build should be available within the next 24 hours.
You can retrieve snapshots from here:
deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel etch main
This patch was committed in r8560, so you'll want to test a
version >= 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13~snapshot.8560 when its available.
