Adrian, This is not an OS issue as I see similar results in Windows, it is definitely a low-level hardware issue.
I am using a Portwell PQ7-C100XL carrier board with a Portwell PQ7-M105 Q7 module. The radio is initialized properly without any driver hacks with that cpu+board pair. Portwell Q7 M105 has AMI BIOS v2.14.1219 on it.
