Greg, this concerns the Debian bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538410 on the atl1c driver: Please merge the following commits into the stable tree for 2.6.30: 0ed586d075ef65c0268982e5b7f36d0ffaa95547 c5ad4f592e27d782faea0a787d9181f192a69ef0 37b76c697f4ac082e9923dfa8e8aecc8bc54a8e1 Tristan Charbonneau confirmed that these fixes - as present in 2.6.31-rc4 - fixes the problem on his hardware.
