there have been several versions of this driver which are much more stable
(according to reports of others and myself).
v0.28 seems to work fine but doesn't support busmastering (which seems to
be the real problem to me).
v0.37 is the last version which works almost fine for us with one problem left
which isn't fixed in 0.40 either.
so IMHO either v0.28 or v0.37 should go into a stable kernel (preferably 0.28!)

don't know, we don't have these cards (but I don't think so from reports).
