The driver is from the staging section of the Linux drivers, i.e. for
drivers which do not yet match the quality standards of the rest of 
the kernel. See http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/linux-staging-update.html
for a description.

There have been quite a few bugfixes since 2.6.32, though. Please test
the 2.6.35-rc6 kernel package from experimental and tell us whether
the problem persists.

Cheers,
