hate this ajax thingy.

Just lost a big comment explaining what i've found around your bug.
Sorry....

We need you to test against Karmic kernel (cx18 used by you is 1.0.0 and
doesn't include several enhancements in 1.2.0 that may solve your
problem)  if this doesn't work we'll need you to test against latest
mainline PPA kernel.

Your card requires high IO from your PCI bus and it seems to get choked
at the boot time by some other device or because a shared interrupt.
That avoids it to detect properly the firmware so it won't work.

Several workarounds are used by people affected by this, from reloading
the module after boot to adding options to it (debug, mmio_delay,
i2c_..) check the references.
