Ok. Since sid is already at version 3.0 by now, please retest. If it still occurs
- which is very likely, but the upstream developers will need to have the
test result against the latest version -, please file this upstream at 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org, product "Drivers" and component "Networking".

The reason why we ask you to file this bug report yourself is because
the kernel maintainers for that component will have questions specific
to your setup/hardware.

If a fix is found upstream, we can then proceed and investigate,
whether the change is backportable to the kernel in Debian 6.0
(Squeeze).

Cheers,
