Thanks for clarifying.  I missed that you had tried 3.2.21-3 again.

Could you list the versions you've tested, in order, and what happened
with each for future reference?

Ok, here are two tests to try.

 (i) Am I correct in guessing 3.2.21-1 from snapshot.debian.org
     produces the gain calibration timeouts, too?

 (ii) Here is a way of testing if the build process changed anything,
      by building the same source with the same configuration:

	cd linux

	# fetch Debian-patched kernel
	git remote add debian \
	  git://git.debian.org/kernel/linux.git
	git fetch debian

	# configure, build, test
	git checkout debian/wheezy
	cp /boot/config-3.2.0-3-amd64 .config
	scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
	make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
	dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
	... test test test ...

Thanks again, and sorry for the fuss,
Jonathan
